Example 1
The compounds of the invention, and related derivatives, can be synthesized by methods known to one skilled in the art. For example, a detailed method for the synthesis of compound 7 is described below in Scheme 3.
A mixture of acetonitrile (60 mL) and ethyl 2-amino-1,3, thiazole-4-carboxilate (0.54 g, 3 mmol) and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (3.3 g, 9 mmol) was heated at reflux temperature for 18 hours. The color changed from yellow to reddish. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified using chromatographic methods: column chromatography (2-5% methanol-chloroform), prep-TLC (2% methanol-chloroform), prep HPLC (column: Phenomenex Luna Phenyl-hexyl (150×4.6 mm ID, 3 μm packing), β1=215 nm, flow rate: 0.8 mL/min, injection volume: 5 mL, run time: 31 min, mobile phase gradient: A: water w 0.1% v/v TFA; B MeCN w 0.1% v/v TFA), and prep-TLC (10% meOH-chloroform) to afford a brown solid (380 mg). LCMS m/z: 145, 173, 191, 381, and 399. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ:1.3 ppm (m, 3H Me) and 4.8 ppm (m, 2H, CH2).
