Lithium Hexamethyldisilazide → 1-(4-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a −78° C. solution of 4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazole (0.096 g, 0.32 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 mL) under argon was added a solution of LiHMDS (1.0 M in THF, 0.35 mmol) dropwise. After stirring for 30 min, a solution of N,2-dimethoxy-N-methyl-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)acetamide (0.121 g, 0.41 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1.5 mL, 1.0 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 35 min, the cold bath was removed and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temp. The mixture was quenched with brine and diluted with EtOAc. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (25-45% EtOAc-hexanes) gave 1-(4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)ethanone as a yellow solid (0.050 g, 29% yield). MS: m/z 533.1 [M+H]+.
