Procedure

To the crude 4-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.88 g) in 95% ethanol (20 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (0.67 g, 16.75 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. After acidification with 3N HCl and concentration under vacuum, the remaining residue was taken up with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (0.77 g, 3.28 mmol, a 41% yield). m.p.: 170-172° C.; 1H NMR (200 MHz, DMSO) δ 3.72 (s, 3H, OCH3), 6.99-7.12 (m, 2H, Ar), 7.35-7.46 (m, 2H, Ar), 9.26 (s, 1H, 2-CH).
