Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-chloro-2-pyridin-3-yl-thiazol-5-yl)-methylamine (200 mg, 0.88 mmol) in dichloroethane (2 mL) was added pyridine (83 mg, 1.05 mmol), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (54 mg, 0.44 mmol) followed by 2-methyl-3-methylsulfanyl-propionyl chloride (160 mg, 1.05 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was diluted with water and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford a light yellow solid (250 mg, 84%): mp 70-73° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.14 (s, 1H), 8.75 (d, J=3.8 Hz, 1H), 8.28-8.15 (m, 1H), 7.45 (dd, J=8.0, 4.9 Hz, 1H), 3.32 (s, 3H), 2.99-2.72 (m, 2H), 2.50 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 2.06 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 3H), 1.31-1.14 (m, 3H); ESIMS m/z 342 (M+1).
