3-Fluorobenzylamine → HCID 58055090, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of Intermediate 1: 4-(chloromethyl)thiazol-2-amine hydrochloride (27.8 g, 0.15 mol), carbonyl diimidazole (25.5 g, 0.157 mol), and anhydrous THF (0.2 L) was treated dropwise with a solution of DIPEA (26.2 mL, 0.15 mol) in THF (20 mL) at 20-30° C. After 2-3 hours stifling, a solution of 3-fluorobenzylamine (18.5 mL, 0.164 mol) in THF (40 mL) was added. The reaction was diluted with water (200 mL) and THF was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with DCM (2×200 mL). The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to leave an orange resin that was purified by silica gel chromatography (acetone/hexane) to afford Intermediate 4 as a pale yellow solid (26 g, 58% yield).
