Triethylamine → 2-Methanesulfonylamino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-amino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole (500 mg, 1.68 mmol) and triethylamine (340 mg, 3.36 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was added methanesulfonyl chloride (385 mg, 3.36 mmol) by portion and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate and evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue, which was chromatographed and then recrystallized to afford 2-methanesulfonylamino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole (447 mg, 71% yield): mp 127.5°-129.0° C.
