Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-phenylacetamido-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole (1.00 g, 2.51 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was added lithium aluminu hydride (150 mg) by portion, then the mixture was refluxed for 2 hr. After cooling, the reaction mixture was filterated and evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue was extracted with chloroform and the extracts were washed with water, dried, then evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue, which chromatographed and recrystallized to afford 4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)-2-phenethylaminothiazole (504 mg, 50% yield): mp 74.5°-75.5° C.
