Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dibromothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-2-amine (1.47 g, 56.74% as per LCMS, 2.70 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (75 mL) was added ethylisocyanate (1.30 mL, 16.25 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was then co-distilled with hexane (twice). The solid thus obtained was stirred in hot water at 80° C. for 30 min then filtered. The solid material was purified over silica gel (100-200 M, 30-40% EtOAc-hexane) to obtain the desired product as an off-white solid (0.85 g, 82%).
