Reaction Steps

Concentrated sulfuric acid (27 mL) was added to 2-{2-[3-(5-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-isoxazol-4-yl]-2-hydroxy-ethyl}-4-methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (1.6 g, 4.6 mmol) then the mixture was heated at 90° C. for 20 min. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was poured into ice (200 g) and the precipitate was filtered off and dried to give the title product (930 mg, 61%) as a light yellow solid after trituration from ethyl acetate. MS: m/e=330.3 [M−H]−.
