General procedure: For the synthesis of compounds 4a-4h and 5a-5h was depicted in Scheme 2. Firstly, 2-phenylacetic acid (1 mmol) and SOCl2 (4-6 mL) were refluxed at 80 C for 3 h. The reaction liquid was cooled to room temperature and then evaporated to give reactive acyl chloride. The product was obtained as an oil matter, which would be dissolved in acetone (5-6 mL) in the next step. Treatment of 3a (5-phenylthiazol-2-amine) with 2-phenylacetyl chloride in acetone for 5 h at ice-bath afforded the aimed amine. Meanwhile, K2CO3 (0.8 g) was added to the mixture. Then the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was washed with diluted NaOH liquid. The aimed amide was extracted from the NaOH liquid with ethyl acetate for column chromatography. Column chromatography was performed using silica gel (200-300 mesh) eluting with ethyl acetate and petroleum ether to give the aimed amine (4a).
