Reaction Steps

{[2-(Acetylamino)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]methyl}(triphenyl)phosphoniumbromide (261.1 mg, 0.525 mmol) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (183.2 mg, 1.50 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml), and potassium tert-butoxide (56.1 mg, 0.50 mmol) was added at 0° C. After stirring at 90° C. for 12 hr, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. Water and ethyl acetate were added, and the mixture was stirred, stood still and then partitioned. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrated residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (FUJI SILYSIA CHEMICAL LTD. BW-300SP 25 g, ethyl acetate:hexane=4:6→5:5) to give N-{4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)vinyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}acetamide (87.9 mg, 0.338 mmol, yield 67.5%) as a white solid.
