Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[5-bromo-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-thiazol-2-ylmethoxy]-2,6-difluoro-benzamide (2.0 g, 4.37 mmol) in the 50 ml of acetic acid was added Zn dust (2.0 g). The reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 1 h. After the completion of the reaction mixture (TLC monitoring), water (100 mL) was added and pH was adjusted to 8-9 with NaOH solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 mL). The combined organics was washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to get the desired product (0.8 g, 50%) as a white solid.
