Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a −78° C. solution of 2,4-dichloro-5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1,3-thiazole (2.9 g, 12.7 mmol) in anhydrous THF (60 mL) was added a solution of butyl lithium (2.5 M in hexanes, 8 mL, 20 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was then quenched with brine (50 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated, and dried in vacuo, affording 4-chloro-5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1,3-thiazole (2.1 g, 87% yield). The product was used without further purification.
