Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-bromothiazole (1.0 g, 6.1 mmol) in dioxane/water (20/5 mL) was added (2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)boronic acid (1.4 g, 9.1 mmol), sodium carbonate (1.29 g, 12.2 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 under nitrogen. The mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h. After cooling to rt, water (50 mL) was added and aqueous was extracted with DCM (3×50 mL). The combined organic layer was dried and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to yield (2-(thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)methanol (0.95 g, 5.1 mmol).
