Tributyltin Chloride → 2-Methoxy-5-(tributylstannyl)-1,3-thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A diethyl ether (1.8 mL) solution of 5-bromo-2-methoxythiazole (200 mg) was cooled to −78° C. followed by the dropwise addition of normal butyllithium (1.6 M, 0.7 mL; KANTO). The resulting mixture was stirred as it was for 1 hour, followed by the addition of tri-n-butyltin chloride (0.35 mL; TCI), and the resulting mixture was slowly raised to room temperature and then stirred for 2 hours. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture solution, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated brine. The organic layer was dried and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the'title compound.
