Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-methyl-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-amide (0.200 g, 0.806 mmol) was treated with cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde (0.230 g, 3.22 mmol) and tetraisopropyl-orthotitanate (0.916 g, 3.22 mmol) and stirred at room temperature overnight. Ethanol (5 mL) and sodium cyanoborohydride (0.213 g, 3.22 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h. Water (0.5 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate/methanol 100:0→90:10 gradient to yield the title compound (0.110 g, 45%) as a light yellow solid, MS (ISP): m/e=303.1 (M+H+).
