Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl trans-4-[(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)carbonyl]cyclohexanecarboxylate (800 mg, 2.31 mmol) in anhydrous THF (16 ml) was treated dropwise over 1 h with isopropylmagnesium bromide (2.31 mmol, 2 M, 1.15 mL) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at 0° C. for 15 min, the reaction was allowed to reach room temperature. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0% to 20% EtOAc in hexanes) and then by preparative HPLC reverse phase (C-18) eluting with 55% to 100% water in acetonitrile (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid). The collected fractions were diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford racemic ethyl trans-4-[1-(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]cyclohexanecarboxylate as a white solid. MS ESI calc'd. for C16H24BrNO3S [M+H]+ 390, 392. found 390, 392. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.60 (s, 1H), 4.10 (q, J=7.1, 2H), 2.30-2.20 (m, 1H), 2.17-2.06 (m, 1H), 2.05-1.79 (m, 2H), 1.93-1.81 (m, 1H), 1.62-1.50 (m, 1H), 1.48-1.20 (m, 5H), 1.22 (t, J=7.1, 3H), 0.88 (d, J=9.8, 3H), 0.87 (d, J=9.8, 3H).
