Reaction Steps

To a −20° C. solution of 4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazole (0.092 g, 0.305 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 mL) under argon was added a solution of LDA (0.18 mL of a 2.0 M solution in THF/heptane/ethylbenzene, 0.37 mmol) dropwise. After stirring for 30 min, the reaction was cooled to −78° C. and a solution of 2-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-N,2-dimethoxy-N-methylacetamide (0.15 g, 0.55 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1.5 mL, 1.0 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 90 min, the mixture was quenched with brine and diluted with EtOAc. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (0-35% EtOAc-hexanes) gave 2-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1-(4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxyethanone as a yellow solid (0.030 g, 20% yield). MS: m/z 514.0 [M+H]+.
