Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-[(E)-2-(5-t-butyl-oxazol-2-yl)-vinyl]-thiazole (20 mg, 0.08 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (1 mL) was added dry DMF (0.1 mL) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (28 μL, 0.16 mmol). The resulting solution was cooled to 0° C. and phenyl acetyl chloride (21 μL, 0.16 mmol) was added via syringe. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature over two hours and then concentrated. Chromatography (SiO2, 5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) provided a N-[5-(2-(5-t-butyl-oxazol-2-yl)-vinyl)-thiazol-2-yl]-phenylacetamide as a mixture of Z and E isomers which were separated by reverse-phase HPLC to give the Z isomer (3 mg, 10%, MS m/e 368 (M+H)+) as a light yellow solid, and the E isomer (3 mg, 10%, C20H21N3O2S, MS m/e 368 (M+H)+) as a yellow solid. (Z)-isomer: HPLC-HI 86% at 4.05 min (YMC S5 ODS column 4.6×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous methanol over 4 minutes containing 0.1% TFA, 4 mL/min, monitoring at 254 nm). (E) -isomer: HPLC-HI 84% at 4.18 min (YMC S5 ODS column 4.6×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous methanol over 4 minutes containing 0.1% TFA, 4 mL/min, monitoring at 254 nm).
