Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid (157 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (8 mL) was added dropwise n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 1.25 mL, 2.0 mmol) under Ar at −75° C. The brown suspension was stirred at −75° C. for 2 h and then a solution of 3-methyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-3H-[1,2,3]triazole-4-carbaldehyde (188 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added at −75° C. and the brown suspension was stirred at −75° C. for 2 h. The mixture was then quenched with an aqueous solution of citric acid (5%, 10 mL), allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was then poured into saturated ammonium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. Purification by recrystallisation from ethylacetate-heptane afforded the title compound (288 mg, 83%) as a light red solid. MS: m/e=344.0 [M−H]−.
