Cross-coupling reactions occur on 2,4-dibromothiazole preferentially at the more electron-deficient 2-position. This fact can be favorably used to prepare 2-substituted 4-bromothiazoles, which serve as precursors for 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles. Protocols for regioselective Negishi and Stille cross-coupling reactions are provided. Alternatively, the title compound can be metalated in 2-position by a halogen-metal exchange reaction. As a supplement to the well-established bromine-lithium exchange, the regioselective bromine-magnesium exchange reaction is presented.
