2-Aryl substituted thiazoles 3a-k were prepared by oxidative insertion of zinc into 2-bromothiazole (1) followed by palladium(0)-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling in a one-pot procedure. 5-Aryl substituted thiazoles 6a-i were prepared by regioselective C-5 lithiation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)thiazole (4) follwed by transmetalation with zinc chloride and palladium(0)-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling in a one-pot procedure. The synthetic sequences were combined to give 2,5-diaryl substituted thiazoles 8a, b and 10 via stepwise C-2 and C-5 arylation and vice versa.
