Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 1-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)thiazol-5-yl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanol (Example 7) (0.450 g, 1.50 mmol) in MeCN (2.25 mL) was heated at 90° C. and then conc. H2SO4 (0.58 mL) in MeCN (2.25 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hrs, then it was cooled to room temperature and ice was added. The resulting mixture was neutralized with 10% NaOH solution, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×250 mL), and the combined organic layers were concentrated under vacuum. The crude product obtained was purified by column chromatography using silica gel (100-200 mesh) and MeOH:CH2Cl2 (3:7) as eluent to afford 95 mg (19%) of N-(1-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)thiazol-5-yl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethyl)acetamide as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.72 (br s, 1H), 8.48 (dd, 2H, J=4.4, 1.6 Hz), 7.93 (m, 2H), 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.29 (t, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.20 (dd, 2H, J=4.4, 1.6 Hz); 1.97 (s, 3H), 1.90 (s, 3H), LC-MS m/z calculated for [M+H]+ 342.10. found 342.1.
