Water → 2-(Tributylstannyl)-1,3-thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-bromothiazole (4.6 mL, 50 mmol) and anhydrous ether (50 mL), there was added an n-BuLi hexane solution (22 mL, 55 mmol) dropwise at −70° C. under nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. A solution of n-Bu3SnCl (14 mL, 50 mmol) in ether (20 mL) was then added at −70° C., and after stirring for 4 hours, the mixture was raised to room temperature and stirred for another hour. After adding water (50 mL), the organic layer was extracted three times with ether (50 mL), and the solvent was distilled away. It was then purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=20:1) to yield the title compound (17 g, 90%).
