Reaction Steps

To a solution of thiazole (1.0 eq) in THF (0.2M) at −78° C. was added nBuLi (1.6M, 1.1 eq). After 1 h at −78° C., acetone (1.0 eq) was added and the mixture stirred 30 min at −78° C., 5 min −50° C. then cooled back to −78° C. to add a second equivalent of nBuLi (1.6M, 1.1 eq). After 1.5 h at −78° C., tri-n-butyltin chloride (1.2 eq) was added and the mixture stirred 12 h at −78° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with Et2O and a solution of NH4Cl. The organic extracts were washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc, 90:10) afforded the title compound.
