Reaction Steps

N-{ 5-[2-bromo-5-(morpholin-4-ylsulfonyl)-3-thienyl]-4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}acetamide (54 mg; 0.12 mmol; 1 eq) is dissolved in dry THF (5 ml) at −70° C. under an inert atmosphere. n-Butyllithium (0.16 ml; 1.6 M; 0.26 mmol; 2.20 eq) is added slowly and reaction stirred at −70° C. for 25 minutes before being hydrolyzed with water (0.3 ml). Crude material is warmed up to room temperature before being concentrated to dryness. Residue is then taken up with water (2 ml) and EtOAc (10 ml). The organic phases are decanted, dried over MgSO4, filtrated and evaporated. Crude material is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using cyclohexane/EtOAc (10/90) as eluent, affording expected Compound (46) as an oil (30 mg; 67%).
