Procedure: To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(3-bromophenyl)-2-[2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-pyridyl]ethanone hydrobromide (22 g, 51 mmol) in N,N,-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added thiopropionamide (4.3 g, 49 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Into the reaction mixture was poured an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with water, then, dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1), then, recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to obtain 4-(3-bromophenyl)-5-[2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-pyridyl]-2-ethyl-1,3-thiazole (6.0 g, yield 27%) and 5-(2-amino-4-pyridyl)-4-(3-bromophenyl)-2-ethyl-1,3-thiazole (1.4 g, yield 8%). extracted with ethyl acetate The extracts were washed with water dried concentrated The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1) recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate

Procedure: A solution of 2-bromo-2-(2-fluoro-4-pyridyl)-1-(3-methylphenyl)ethanone hydrobromide (11 g, 29 mmol) and thiopropionamide (2.7 g, 30 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) was stirred for 14 hours at room temperature. Aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with water, dried, then, the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1) to obtain a title compound (3.3 g, yield 38%). extracted with ethyl acetate The extracts were washed with water dried the solvent was distilled off The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1)

Procedure: To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylthiophenyl)ethanone (Example 1, Step 3)(0.115 g, 0.340 mmol) in ethanol (4 mL) in a 10 mL round bottom flask was added 3-phenylthiopropionamide from Step 1 (0.059 g, 0.357 mmol) and the mixture was heated to reflux overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with Na2CO3 (10% solution), brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo yielding 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-(2-phenylethyl)thiazole (0.090 g, 65%) as oily crystals: mp 97°-99° C.; 1HNMR (CDCl3) 300 mHz 7.50 (d of d, J=5.38 and 8.80, 2 H), 7.35-7.15 (m, 9H), 6.99 (t, J=8.80, 2H), 3.35 (t, J=8.80, 2 H), 3.19 (t, J=8.56 Hz, 2H), 2.49 (s, 3H); MS (EI) m/z 405.10 (MH+), HRMS (M+) Δ=0.0 mmu. the mixture was heated to reflux overnight washed with Na2CO3 (10% solution), brine dried over Na2SO4 filtered concentrated in vacuo

Procedure: To a solution of 3-phenylpropionamide (1.653 g, 6.827 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was added Lawesson's reagent (0.716 g, 1.77 mmol). The reaction was refluxed overnight, cooled to room temperature and concentrated yielding an orange oil. Flash chromatography of this oil (1:1 hexane:methylene chloride with 1% acetic acid) yielded 3-phenylthiopropionamide (0.070 g) as a white solid: mp 82°-83° C.; 1HNMR (DMSO d6) 300 mHz 9.35 (br s, 1 H), 9.15 (br s, 1 H), 7.34-7.10 (m, 2 H), 2.95 (t, J=8.48 Hz, 2 H), 2.72 (t, J=8.48 Hz, 2 H). The reaction was refluxed overnight concentrated yielding an orange oil
