Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (32.6 g, 100 mmol) in THF (1.8 L), was dropwise added 1.6M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (150 mL, 240 mmol) at −78° C. over 1 h, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at the same temperature. To the reaction mixture was dropwise added a solution of N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide (10.3 g, 100 mmol) in THF (600 mL) at −78° C. over 3 h. After addition, the mixture was stirred for 30 min at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was neutralized by the addition of AcOH (13.8 mL), and the mixture was allowed to warm to rt. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and then, to the residue, were added EtOAc (400 mL) and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (300 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc, the combined organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then insoluble materials were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane=5/95→80/20) to give the title compound (28.4 g, 74%) as a pale yellow oil.
