Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of methyl 5-hydroxy-3-pyridinecarboxylate (9.84 g), 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-2-phenyloxazole (13.40 g), potassium carbonate (8.90 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain methyl 5-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)-3-pyridinecarboxylate (12.42 g, yield 59%) as pale yellow crystals from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:2, volume ratio). This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 119–120° C.
