Morpholine → 4-((4-Bromothiazol-2-yl)methyl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-1,3-thiazole-2-carbaldehyde (192 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DCM (4.0 mL) was added morpholine (130 ul, 1.5 mmol) and 3 drops of AcOH. The mixture was stirred for 12 hr and then Na(OAc)3BH (0.335 g, 1.5 mmol) was added. After 6 hr. the mixture was quenched with Sat. NaHCO3 (4.0 mL) and brine (3.0 mL). The organic layer was separated and concentrated to give 200 mg of 4-[(4-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)methyl]morpholine (76%).
