Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-methoxythiazole (5 g, 43.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (50 mL) was added n-BuLi (35.3 mL, 56.4 mmol) and the contents stirred at −78° C. After 15 min, tributylchlorostannane (14.13 mL, 52.1 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred with warming to room temperature over a 3 h period. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (20 mL) and the contents extracted with ether (25 mL). The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product (6 g). The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: 2% EtOAc/Hexane) to afford 2-methoxy-5-(tributylstannyl)thiazole (4 g, 22%) as yellow liquid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3-d3) δ ppm 0.90-0.98 (m, 9H), 1.05-1.15 (m, 6H), 1.30-1.40 (m, 6H), 1.50-1.65 (m, 6H), 4.04 (s, 3H), 7.03 (s, 1H). LCMS (ES) [M+H]+ 405.99.
