Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of isopropylamine (59 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dioxane (2 mL) under argon and at room temperature was added trimethylaluminium (0.50 mL of a 2M solution in toluene, 1.0 mmol). After 1 h, a solution of 2-[(E)-2-(3-butyl-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl)-vinyl]-4-methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (80 mg, 0.25 mmol) in dioxane (2 mL) was added and the reaction mixture warmed to 90° C. After 48 h, the reaction mixture was cooled, quenched with Seignettes's salt solution (2 mL) and water (2 mL), then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried, filtered and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (silica, 10 to 80% ethyl acetate in heptane) gave the title compound (59 mg, 68%) as pale yellow solid. MS: m/e=348.0 [M+H]+.
