Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-{[4-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]amino}-4-methylpentanoate (0.31 g, 0.94 mmol), prepared in the previous step, was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (18 mL) and sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1M in tetrahydrofuran, 0.94 mL, 0.94 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. The reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with H2O, brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography (20% acetone/hexane) afforded the title compound (0.27 g, 97%) as a white solid. HRMS: calcd for C16H15N3OS+H+, 298.10086; found (ESI, [M+H]+), 298.1; Analytical HPLC: purity 94.8% at 210-370 nm, 9.9 min; 98.2% at 244 nm, 9.9 min; the Xterra® RP18 column, 3.5%, 150×4.6 mm column, 1.2 mL/min, 85/15-5/95 (Ammon. Form. Buff. pH=3.5/ACN+MeOH) for 10 min, hold 4 min.
