Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[2-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-thiazol-4-yl]-3-methoxy-5-[1-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-meth-(E)-ylidene]-cyclopent-2-enone (190 mg, 0.45 mmol) in acetone (2 ml) was added 2N hydrochloric acid (2 ml) and the reaction heated to 120° C. for 30 minutes by microwave irradiation. The crude reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (25 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (25 ml), brine (25 ml) and the organic later separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 2-[2-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-thiazol-4-yl]-4-[1-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-meth-(E)-ylidene]-cyclopentane-1,3-dione (168 mg).
