Piperazine → N-sec-butyl-5-(4-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(sec-butylamino)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-carbaldehyde (presumed 0.24 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and concentrated aqueous NH4OH (0.050 mL) in THF (0.8 mL) was stirred overnight. 1-Fluoro-2-(isocyano(tosyl)methyl)benzene (0.0841 g, 0.291 mmol, 1.2 eq.) and piperazine (0.0394 g, 0.457 mmol, 1.9 eq.) were added, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight. It was then diluted with EtOAc and washed with water, saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. MeOH was added to the residue, and the mixture was subjected to autoprep. The appropriate fractions were collected, and NaHCO3 (s) was added. The solution was then concentrated in vacuo not to dryness and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give N-sec-butyl-5-(4-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-amine as a yellow solid (0.0228 g, 26% yield). LC/MS (MH)=368.23.
