Procedure

A cold solution of sodium nitrite (228 mg, 3.31 mmol) in water (2.0 mL) was added dropwise to a mixture of 2-amino-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1946, 68, 266) (500 mg, 2.90 mmol), CuSO4 pentahydrate (2.100 g, 8.41 mmol), NaBr (1.134 g, 11.02 mmol), H2SO4 (3.0 mL) and water (3.0 mL) at −5° C. to 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes and at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 9 with 1N NaOH (105 mL) and the aqueous solution was washed with CHCl3 (4×50 mL). The organic solutions were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. Purification by medium pressure chromatography (39:1 hexanes:EtOAc to 19:1 hexanes:EtOAc) provided 2-bromo-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (257 mg).
