2,2,4-Trimethylpentane → 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-2-(3,5-dichlorophenylamino)thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)ethanone (Example 26, Step 2) (0.312, 0.841 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) in a 25 mL round bottom flask was added N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)thiourea (0.195 g, 0.882 mmol). The solution was heated to reflux (14 hours) and the reaction was cooled to room temperature. The resulting suspension was concentrated in vacuo, suspended in ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with sodium carbonate solution (10%, 3×20 mL), brine (1×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated, yielding a powdery solid. This solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate/methylene chloride. Addition of isooctane resulted in the precipitation of 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-2-(3,5-dichlorophenylamino)thiazole (0.261 g, 63%) as a pale yellow powder: mp 287°-288° C.; 1HNMR (DMSO d6) 400 mHz 10.84 (s, 1 H), 7.86 (d, J=8.79 Hz, 2 H), 7.73 (s, 2 H), 7.54-7.45 (m, 4 H), 7.22 (t, J=8.79 Hz, 2 H), 7.15 (s, 1 H), 3.22 (s, 3 H); MS m/z 492 (M+). HRMS Δ=4.8 mmu.
