Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-phenyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)-1,3-thiazole-2-amine (0.95 g, 3.40 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (7 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 0.14 g, 3.40 mmol) under stirring at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 5 min. Then, 3-(chloromethyl)-4-isobutoxybenzaldehyde (0.70 g, 3.09 mmol) and sodium iodide (0.51 g, 3.40 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated brine, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1-3/1) to give the title compound (1.43 g, yield 99%) as a pale-yellow oil.
