Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-azido-N-benzyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxamide (0.65 g, 2.38 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added copper(I) iodide (0.45 g, 2.38 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.24 mL, 7.14 mmol) and phenylacetylene (0.37 g, 3.57 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether, 1:1) to afford the title compound as a white solid in 70% yield: mp 175-178° C. (ethyl acetate/hexanes); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.60 (s, 1H), 7.90 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.47-7.37 (m, 8H), 6.11 (br s, 1H), 4.64 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.72 (s, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 160.9, 155.4, 153.3, 148.7, 137.4, 129.2, 129.0, 128.9, 128.8, 127.8, 126.0, 124.4, 116.7, 44.3, 17.4; MS (ES+) m/z 376.3 (M+1).
