Reaction Steps

In a 250 mL round-bottomed flask was added methyl 2-(4-(pyridin-3-yl)benzylamino)thiazole-5-carboxylate (3 g, 9.22 mmol) and 1-(bromomethyl)-4-fluorobenzene (1.264 ml, 10.14 mmol) in dimethylformamide (46.1 ml). The mixture was cooled to 0° C., sodium hydride (0.738 g, 18.44 mmol) was added carefully; and the mixture was warmed to room temperature. After the mixture was stirred for about 30 minutes, it was found to be predominantely carboxylic acid. 1 N NaOH was added to complete the conversion; and a water work up followed by chromatography provided the title compound.
