Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-{2-[2-fluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]ethyl}-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (194.7 mg, 0.665 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (2 ml) were added triethylamine (0.17 ml, 1.20 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (8.1 mg, 0.066 mmol), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. Methanesulfonyl chloride (77 μl, 1.0 mmol) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The mixture was cooled to 0° C., triethylamine (93 μl, 0.67 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (51 μl, 0.67 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. Iced water (2 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stood still and partitioned. The aqueous layer was extracted 3 times with dichloromethane, and the combined organic layer was washed with 1M hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrated residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Merck 9385 16 g, ethyl acetate:hexane=2:3) to give N-(4-{2-[4-(chloromethyl)-2-fluorophenyl]ethyl}-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (59.6 mg, 0.191 mmol, yield 28.7%) as a pale-yellow solid.
