Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-methylthiazole (1.0 g, 8.8 mmol), 4-(2-chloroethyl)-morpholine hydrochloride (1.7 g, 9.2 mmol) and Et3N (3.7 mL, 26 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was warmed to 80° C. and was allowed to stir for 24 h. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature, quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL), and diluted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×5 mL). The combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified via column chromatography (SiO2, 10% CH3OH in EtOAc then 9:1:0.1 CH2Cl2:CH3OH:NH4OH) to give the title compound (0.88 g, 3.9 mmol, 44% yield). MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 228 (M+H)+.
