Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the procedure of Example 23C but replacing ethyl 2-(4-morpholinyl)thiazole-4-carboxylate with ethyl 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)thiazole-4-carboxylate provided, after silica gel chromatography using 2-4% methanol in chloroform, the desired compound (Rf 0.26, 4% methanol in chloroform) in 53% yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.04 (m, 4 H), 2.75 (br, 1 H), 3.45 (m, 4 H), 4.56 (s, 2 H), 6.32 (s, 1 H). Mass spectrum: (M+H)+ =185.
