Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 0.063 g (1.5 mmol) of sodium hydride in DMSO (10 mL) was added 0.300 g (1.47 mmol) of trimethylsulfonium iodide as a solution in DMSO (5 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 5 min 0.130 g (0.687 mmol) of the above aldehyde was added as a solution in DMSO (5 mL). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was poured into H2O and washed with EtOAc. The combined organic phase was washed with H2O, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash silica gel chromatography to provide 0.129 g (92.3%) of 2-(4-oxiranyl-phenyl)-thiazole as a clear oil.
