2-Aminothiazole → 3-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide

Temperature

0 °C

A solution of triphenylphosphine (416 mg, 1.58 mmol) in methylene chloride (8 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and then treated with N-bromosuccinimide (281 mg, 1.58 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then treated with a solution of 3-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (290 mg, 0.93 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL). The clear solution was stirred for 15 min at 0° C. and then allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was then treated with 2-aminothiazole (233 mg, 2.32 mmol), and the resulting suspension was stirred for 20 h at 25° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to remove methylene chloride, and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (50 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (1×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1×50 mL) and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×50 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and, concentrated in vacuo. Biotage chromatography (FLASH 40S, Silica, 4/1 to 1/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (337 mg, 92%) as an amorphous solid: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C19H24N2O3S2 (M+) 392.1228, found 392.1230.
