Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (0.151 g, 3.77 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(hydroxymethyl)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (0.2 g, 1.26 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) and stirred for 20 min. Methyl iodide (0.236 mL, 3.77 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred for a further 2 h. Water (2 mL) was added, followed by NaOH (0.251 g, 6.28 mmol) and stirred for 20 h. The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 5 h then cooled to RT, acidified with 2M HCl and purified by reverse phase HPLC with MeCN/aqTFA as eluent to afford the sub-title compound as a white solid. Yield: 31 mg
