Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N-(4-(2-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]ethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (50 mg) prepared in a similar manner according to Step 3 of the following Production Example 16, carbon tetrabromide (72 mg) and dichloromethane (1 ml) was added triphenylphosphine (71 mg), and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 1% methanol/chloroform as an eluent. The crystalline residue was collected and washed with diisopropyl ether to give N-(4-{2-[4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]ethyl}-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (48 mg).
