Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (206 mg, 0.602 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2.4 mL) was added TFA (0.232 mL). The solution turned bright red immediately, and after stirring overnight the color had become orange. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude oil obtained purified with a 5 g SCX-2 column washing first with MeOH, then with 2M NH3 in MeOH leading to elution of basic materials. Upon drying, 4-phenyl-2-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)thiazole (121 mg, 0.499 mmol, 83%) was obtained as a yellow oil.
