Pyridine → N-Benzyl-4-methyl-2-(5-phenylpentanamido)thiazole-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled mixture of 2-amino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid benzylamide (0.10 g, 0.40 mmol), pyridine (0.096 g, 1.21 mmol), and dimethylaminopyridine (0.010 mg) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added 5-phenylpentanoyl chloride (0.16 g, 0.81 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (1 mL) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, then diluted with dichloromethane (10 mL) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (2×5 mL), 1 N hydrochloric acid (5 mL), and brine (5 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrate in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1/1) to afford the title compound as a clear oil (0.16 g, 97%) %); 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 11.19 (s, br, 1H), 7.33-7.09 (m, 10H), 6.40 (t, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 2.60-2.39 (m, 7H), 1.74-1.56 (m, 4H); MS (ES+) m/z 408.6 (M+1).
