Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.0 g (34.7 mmol) of 4-methoxythiazole (9), 12.8 g (68.7 mmol) of dodecanol, 0.7 g (3.7 mmol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, and 75 mL of toluene was heated at 130° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 5.5×30 cm, methylene chloride). The resulting oily solid was recrystallized from 20 mL of cold pentane to give 5.15 g (55% yield) of 4-dodecyloxythiazole (10) as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz) δ 8.58 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 6.13 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 4.13 (t, 2H, J=6.6 Hz), 1.83 (m, 2H), 1.49-1.28 (m, 18H), 0.90 (t, 3H, J=7.0).
