Sodium hydride → 3-{2-[2-(4-tert-Butyl-phenyl)-thiazol-4-ylmethoxy]-ethyl}-phenyl amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.027 g (1 mmol) of 95% sodium hydride and 0.5 drop of 15-crown-5 in 20 mL of THF was added dropwise a solution of 0.139 g (1 mmol) of 3-(2-hydroxy ethyl)phenyl amine at 0° C. After stirring for 0.5 hr 0.28 g (1.1 mmol) of 4-chloromethyl-2-(4-tert-butyl phenyl)thiazole was added in one portion. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. At the end of this time, the solution was concentrated and the residue washed with 10 ml of saturated ammonium chloride and extracted 2 times with 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to recover an oil, which was purified by column chromatography on SiO2 with 30% ethyl acetate:hexane elution to provide 0.125 g of product as an oil, used in the next step without further purification.
