To a solution of 2-benzyl-4-(4-pyridyl)thiazole (4.00 g, 0.016 mol) and tetramethylethylenediamine (2.5 mL) in dry tetrahydrofuran (35 mL) at -78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere was added dropwise n-butyl lithium (1.6M in hexane, 11.4 mL). The resulting dark mixture was allowed to stir at -78° C. for 15 minutes, warmed to 0° C. for 2 hours, then cooled to -78° C. Ethyl formate (1.47 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture allowed to stir at -78° C. for 30 minutes then at 0° C. for one hour. The reaction mixture was quenched with methanol, concentrated, and chromatographed over silica gel. Recrystallization from hexane/ethyl acetate afforded 2-phenyl-2-[4-(4-pyridyl)-2-thiazolyl]acetaldehyde (1.76 g, 39%). mp. 163°-164° C.
