Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[4-(2,6-Difluoro-phenyl)-thiazol-2-yl]-2′-nitro-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (45 mg, 16%) was prepared from 2′-nitro-4-thiocarbamoyl-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (which may be prepared as described for Intermediate 4) and 2-bromo-2′,6′-difluoroacetophenone (available from SynQuest Laboratories, Inc.) using the procedure described for the preparation of Example 18 except that the entire 4 mL of water was added at the beginning of the hydrolysis step rather than being added in two portions. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.45 (d, J=1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.94-8.04 (m, 3H), 7.50-7.70 (m, 3H), 7.19-7.32 (m, 4H).
