Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 25 mL round-bottomed flask 2 mL of tetrahydrofuran and diisopropyl amine (0.14 mL, 1.0 mmol) were cooled to −78° C. and n-butyllithium (0.38 mL, 0.95 mmol) was added. The solution was warmed to 0° C. for 10 minutes then recooled to −78° C. A solution of 7-chloro-2-thiazol-2-yl-thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (200 mg, 0.79 mmol) in 2 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise and the resulting solution was stirred 30 minutes. Acetone (0.88 mL, 1.19 mmol) was added to the anion and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with chloroform (3×50 mL). The combined extracts were dried over NaSO4, filtered, and concentrated. Chromatography on 50 g of silica gel with 30% ethyl acetate:methylene chloride afforded 129 mg (52%) 2-[2-(7-Chloro-thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl)-thiazol-5-yl]-propan-2-ol. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ8.56 (d, 1H), 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, 1H), 1.66 (s, 6H). LC-MS: 308.1, 311 (MH+); HPLC RT: 5.32 min.
