Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dibromothiazole (100 mg, 0.412 mmol) in 2 mL THF was added BuLi (1.6 M in THF, 283 μL, 0.453 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 15 min, then a solution of Intermediate 7.3 (134 mg, 0.412 mmol) in 0.6 mL THF was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min, was allowed to warm to rt, then was quenched with sat. NH4Cl. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with H2O and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0 to 40% EtOAc/hexanes gradient) followed by preparative HPLC purification to afford 39 mg of Intermediate 16.1.
