Participants

Reaction Steps

2-{[4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]thio}-2-methylpropionic acid tert-butyl ester (8.0 g) synthesized in Example 4 and 5-iodosalicylic acid methyl ester (7.3 g) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (130 mL), triphenylphosphine (9.0 g) and diethyl diazodicarboxylate (14.9 g) were added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1 to 5:1) to give the title compound (14.3 g) as a colorless oil.
