Abstract:
Processes are disclosed which are useful for the preparation of a substantially pure compound of formula (3), wherein R 6 and R 7 are each hydrogen or R 6 and R 7 are independently selected from (i), wherein R a and R b are independently selected from hydrogen, loweralkyl and phenyl and R c , R d and R e are independently selected from hydrogen, loweralkyl, trifluoromethyl, alkoxy, halo and phenyl; and (ii) wherein the naphthyl ring is unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three substituents independently selected from loweralkyl, trifluoromethyl, alkoxy, and halo; or R 6 is as defined above and R 7 is R 7a OC (O)- wherein R 7a is loweralkyl or benzyl; or R 6 and R 7 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded are (a) or (b), wherein R f , R g , R h and R i are independently selected from hydrogen, loweralkyl, alkoxy, halogen, and trifluoromethyl and R 8 is hydrogen or -C(O)R'' wherein R'' is loweralkyl, alkoxy, benzyloxy or phenyl wherein the phenyl ring is unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three substituents independently selected from loweralkyl, trifluoromethyl, alkoxy and halo; or an acid addition salt thereof.

Abstract:
This invention is directed to processes for making substituted thiazoles. The substituted thiazole, ethyl ,2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate, also known as TEI-6720, is useful for treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. This compound belongs to a class of substituted thiazoles that inhibit xanthine oxidase and thus block uric acid production.
