Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one (0.5 g, 4.0 mmol), 2-bromothiazole (0.79 g, 4.81 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.0 g, 6.0 mmol), xantphos (0.19 g, 0.32 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (25 ml) was degassed with argon gas for 15 min. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.18 g, 0.16 mmol) was added, degassed for another 15 min and stirred at 125° C. for 3 h in a sealed tube. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude compound. Purification by column chromatography over neutral alumina using 10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether as eluent afford 500 mg (60%) of 2-(thiazol-2-yl)-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one as pale yellow solid.
