Synthesis of Ring-Opened Analogues of Oxysterol-Binding Protein-Inhibiting Piperidinyl-thiazole Fungicides

Novel aminoethyl-, aminopropyl-, and aminobutyl-substituted thiazole-4-carboxamides have been prepared which are ring-opened analogues of piperidinyl-thiazole fungicides. Depending of the chain length, completely different synthetic approaches had to be chosen which vary from a Sonogashira coupling with a 2-bromothiazole derivative to a thiazole ring construction from different β- and δ-amino acids.
