Reaction Steps

(S)-4,5-Dihydro-2-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid (5′-fluorodesazadesmethylDFT, 29a) is prepared from the cyclization of D-cysteine onto 5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzonitrile in slightly acidic buffer. The aromatic precursor could be made by direct cyanation of p-fluorophenol using methyl thiocyanate, aluminum chloride, and boron trichloride in ethylene dichloride followed by heating in aqueous base (Adachi et al., Syn. Commun. 20:71-84 (1990)).
