Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (4.52 g, 13.87 mmol) was added to 2-bromo-1,3-thiazole (1.90 g, 11.6 mmol) and 3-iodophenol (2.54 g, 11.5 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (30 mL). The reaction was heated to 135° C. and stirred at this temperature overnight. The reaction was allowed to cool, then was poured into water (100 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified via flash chromatography using a Varian SF15-24 g column and an eluent of EtOAc in hexanes (0-10%) to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (2.52 g, 71.8%). MS (LCMS) m/z 304.1 (M+1).
