Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Liquid bromine (0.30 g, 0.097 ml, 1.89 mmol) was added drop wise to a stirred solution (5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiazol-2-yl)(piperidin-1-yl)methanone (5a, 0.5 g, 1.58 mmol) in acetic acid (6 ml) at 25° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 3 hrs. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained after concentration was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml). The mixture was then washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (20 ml). The separated organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product, which was then purified by flash column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes as an eluent to obtain the title compound 5b (0.54 g, 86.0%).
