6-(4-Fluorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole → HCID 58541623, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the mixture (1.1:1) of 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (K) and 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (J) (0.205 g, 0.6 mmol) in methanol (25 mL) is added drop-wise a solution of oxone (1.23 g, 1.8 mmol) in water (5 mL). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The volatiles are removed in vacuo at room temperature. To the residue is added dichloromethane. The organic phase is washed sequentially with water and a saturated, aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate hexane (1:1) to yield 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(2-methanesulfonyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (L) (Compound CXL, Table 2) as a white solid (0.113 g, 98%); m.p. 197-198° C.;
