N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-amine → HCID 86687463, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A round-bottom flask was charged with N-(4-methoxybenzyl)thiazol-2-amine (0.353 g, 1.603 mmol) and THF (7.29 ml) to give an opaque solution. The flask was cooled in a dry ice-acetone bath for 5 min to give a milky suspension, then lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1M in THF) (1.603 ml, 1.603 mmol) was added. The flask was removed from the bath for 5 min to give a clear solution, then resubmerged. The mixture appeared to remain a solution. After 5 min, a solution of perfluorophenyl 4-(2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-nitroquinoline-7-sulfonate (1.125 g, 1.457 mmol) in THF (3 mL with a 2 mL wash) was added drop wise. The mixture was stirred for 45 min, then diluted with saturated aq ammonium chloride solution and warmed to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (40-g column, 0 to 40% EtOAc/Heptane) to give 4-(2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-nitro-N-(thiazol-2-yl)quinoline-7-sulfonamide (0.759 g, 1.204 mmol, 83% yield) as a yellow foam. m/z (ESI) 631.2 (M+H)+.
