Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (0.37 g) and iodomethane (0.17 ml) were added to a solution of 4-{[(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)amino]carbonyl}-2-(methylthio)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (Intermediate 14; 0.9 g) in DMF (20 ml) and heated in a sealed tube at an external temperature of 85° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove DMF and partitioned with EtOAc and water. The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried with MgSO4, and concentrated to an orange solid (0.63 g). NMR: 1.60-1.65 (m, 6H), 2.76 (s, 3H), 3.78-3.83 (m, 3H), 7.22 (d, J=7.16 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (t, J=7.63 Hz, 2H), 7.46 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 2H), 8.75 (s, 1H).
