Sodium Bicarbonate → N-(4-(4-benzyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)isonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A THF solution of benzylzinc(II) bromide (4.0 mL, 2.0 mmol) was added to a degassed solution of N-(4-(4-iodo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)isonicotinamide (435 mg, 1.0 mmol) and tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (57.8 mg, 0.10 mmol) in THF (5.0 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 16 h under N2 and then poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give N-(4-(4-benzyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)isonicotinamide: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.70 (d, J=4.9 Hz, 2H), 7.67 (d, J=4.9 Hz, 2H), 7.33 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.10-7.26 (m, 3H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 6.24 (s, 1H), 3.86 (s, 2H), 2.04 (s, 6H); ESI-MS: m/z 399.9 (M+H)+.
