Reaction Steps

A solution of rac-cyclohexyloxy-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-acetic acid (102 mg, 0.34 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was treated with benzotriazol-1-yloxy-(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) reagent (223 mg, 0.51 mmol), triethylamine (0.14 mL, 0.52 mmol), and 2-aminothiazole (51 mg, 0.51 mmol) at 25° C. After the resulting brownish-orange solution was stirred 16 h at 25° C., it was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (1×10 mL), 1N sodium hydroxide solution (1×10 mL), 1N hydrochloric acid (1×10 mL), and brine (1×10 mL), then were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The product was purified by flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 90/10 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to furnish rac-2-cyclohexyloxy-2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-acetamide (115 mg, 88% yield) as a white foam: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C17H18Cl2O2N2S (M+) 384.0466, found 384.0469.
