Reaction Steps

To ethyl 2-(1-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-7-yl)-5-chlorothiazole-4-carboxylate (1J) (0.450 g, 1.23 mmol), 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid (0.281 g, 1.85 mmol), lithium chloride (0.157 g, 3.70 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.142 g, 0.12 mmol), and cesium carbonate (1.2 g, 3.70 mmol) was added 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) and water (10 mL). Nitrogen was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt, diluted with EtOAc, filtered through Celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient of 0 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes to provide 0.483 g (90%) of the desired product ethyl 2-(1-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-7-yl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-carboxylate (1K): LC/MS (APCI): m/z 436.8 (M+H).
