Reaction Steps

To ethyl 2-(1-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-7-yl)-5-chlorothiazole-4-carboxylate (1J) (0.250 g, 0.69 mmol), phenol (0.129 g, 1.4 mmol), and KOH (0.284 g, 2.1 mmol) was added DMF (10 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to heat to 70° C. for 72 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and diluted with EtOAc and water. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed sequentially with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient of 0 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes to provide 0.208 g (72%) ethyl 2-(1-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-7-yl)-5-phenoxythiazole-4-carboxylate (21A): LC/MS (APCI): m/z 424.0 (M+H).
