Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (55%, 58 mg, 2.4 mmol) in THF (3 mL) at 0° C., was added a solution of (3-butyl-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl)-methanol (169 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (3 mL) dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h and then cooled to 0° C. and then a solution of 2-chloro-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid isopropylamide (205 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (3 mL) added dropwise and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was then added and the resulting mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried, filtered and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (silica, 0 to 30% methanol in dichloromethane, then 0 to 60% ethyl acetate in heptane) gave the title compound (145 mg, 43%) as a white solid. MS: m/e=338.4 [M+H]+.
