Reaction Steps

To a mixture of [4-Isopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazol-5-yl]-methanol (0.056 g, 0.18 mmol) and 3-(4-Iodomethyl-2-methyl-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (0.070 g, 0.22 mol) in DMF (1 mL) is added sodium hydride (60% dispersion, 0.016 g, 0.67 mmol). After 3.5 h, water is added, and the mixture is extracted with EtOAc. The organics are dried with MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude material is purified by flash chromatography to yield the title compound (55 mg, 60%).
