Applications
2,4-Dibromothiazole is applied as a building block in a synthesis of Melithiazole C employing a highly (E)-selective cross-metathesis between the derived 4-vinylthiazole and a dienote side-chain. It is also used as an intermediate in the preparation of various 2,4-disubstituted thiazole derivatives with biologically active properties such as survival motor neuron (SMN) protein modulators.

Notes
