2-Bromothiazole → Benzyl 2-amino-3-(1,3-thiazol-2-ylethynyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl 2-amino-3-ethynylbenzoate (3.06 g), 2-bromothiazole (1.65 mL), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (0.704 g) and copper iodide (0.232 g) in triethylamine (60 mL) was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 60° C. for 1.5 hr with heating. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=10:90-50:50) to give the title compound (3.32 g, yield 82%) as a yellow oil.
