1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-[(4-{2-[(5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)thio]-2-methylpropionic acid tert-butyl ester

Reaction Steps

{2-[(2-tert-Butoxy-1,1-dimethyl-2-oxoethyl)thio]-1,3-thiazol-4-yl}acetic acid (16 g) obtained in Example 3 and 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (8.7 g) were dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) hydrochloride (14.5 g) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (9.2 g) was successively added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give the title compound (22 g) as a white solid.
