Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution (2 ml) of thiazole (129 mg, 1.5 mmol) in THF was cooled to −70° C., and n-butyllithium (a 2.44M hexane solution) (0.62 ml, 1.5 mmol) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at −70° C. for 30 minutes. A solution (4 ml) of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]-N-methoxy-N-methylpropionamide (500 mg, 1.4 mmol) in THF was added to the reaction mixture, followed by stirring at −70° C. for 3 hours. After heating to room temperature, a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated salt solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/5). The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol, to thereby obtain 350 mg (yield: 66%) of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]-1-thiazole-2-yl-1-propanone as colorless needles.
