Reaction Steps

To 2-methoxybenzenethiol (2.8 g, 20 mmol), and 2-bromothiazole (3.29 g, 20 mmol) in dry DMF (30 mL) under N2 (g) was added Me4N+OH-.5H2O (3.62 g, 20 mmol). The stirred mixture was heated to about 100° C. for 16 hours. Isolation of the methoxyphenyl intermediate, and its subsequent deprotection to the desired product with BBr3 was accomplished according to the method described in Preparation 16 (yield 81%; GC-MS m/z 209).
