Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-bromo-3-methoxypyridine (1.65 g, 8.78 mmol) in THF was cooled to −78° C., and 5.23 ml (8.16 mmol) of a 1.57 N solution of n-butyllithium in n-hexane was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 45 minutes, and a solution (15 ml) of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]propionaldehyde (1.34 g, 4.39 mmol) in THF was added dropwise. After stirring at the same temperature for 30 minutes, the temperature of the mixture was raised to −30° C. over a period of 30 minutes. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated salt solution, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/1). The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by preparative thin-layer silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/2). The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, to thereby obtain 470 mg (yield: 26%) of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]-1-(3-methoxypyridine-2-yl)-1-propanol as a yellow oil.
