Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.33 mmol 2-iodo-4-methyl-thiazole, 4.00 mmol piperazine and 4.00 mmol triethylamine in 4 ml tetrahydrofuran in a sealed tube was heated at 160° C. for 2 h under microwave irradiation. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2, methanol/dichloromethane) to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (yield 65%). MS (m/e): 184.3 (M+H+, 100%).
