Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-{(E)-2-[3-(5-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl]-vinyl}-4-methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (69 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (39 mg, 0.24 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at 60° C. and then treated with an ammonium hydroxide solution (308 L, 2.0 mmol) and stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then evaporated. Purification by chromatography (silica, heptane:ethyl acetate=1:1 to 0:1) afforded the title compound (33 mg, 48%) as a white solid after trituration from dichloromethane. MS: m/e=345.2 [M+H]+.
