Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-(5-(methoxymethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-5-thiocyanatothiazol-2-amine (0.109 g, 0.392 mmol) in methanol (15 mL) was bubbled with argon for 10 minutes and then treated with dithiothreitol (0.079 g, 0.510 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 23° C. for 10 minutes, then methyl 4-chloro-3-fluoropicolinate (0.0743 g, 0.392 mmol) was added, followed by aq. NaOH (1N, 0.43 mL, 0.431 mmol). The resulting brown solution was stirred for 45 minutes, then concentrated to about one quarter of the volume, diluted in water (15 mL) and neutralized with aq. sat. ammonium chloride. The precipitate was filtered to give the crude title material (0.062 g, 39%) as a solid which was used as such in the next reaction. HPLC ret. time (Condition A): 1.625 min. LC/MS (M+H)+: 407.
