Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-5-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)benzonitrile (D64) (215 mg) and sodium acetate (144 mg) in acetic acid (8 mL) stirred at room temperature was added a solution of Br2 (0.045 mL) in acetic acid (1 mL) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. until start material was consumed completely. The reaction mixture was basified with 2M NaOH, then diluted with ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with water and brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. After concentration, the crude product 5-(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]benzonitrile (D65) (320 mg) was used for next step without further purification. δH (CDCl3, 600 MHz): 1.36 (6H, d), 4.65 (1H, m), 6.95 (1H, d), 7.64 (1H, s), 7.92 (1H, d), 7.97 (1H, dd).
