Reaction Steps

A solution of 1 g (7 mmol) of 4-methyl-5-thiazolylethanol in 15 mL of dichloromethane is cooled to 0° C. under argon. In a first stage, 1.8 g (7 mmol) of triphenylphosphine are added. Next, 1.30 g (7 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide are added portionwise over 5 minutes. After stirring for 2 hours at 0° C., the solvent is evaporated off under vacuum. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 50/50 EtOAc/heptane) to give 900 mg of 5-(2-bromoethyl)-4-methylthiazole, the characteristics of which are as follows:
