Reaktionsschritte

N-Methoxy-N-methyl-4-methyl-5-oxazolecarboxamide (5 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran at -40° C. was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere and ethylmagnesium bromide (1M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 35 ml) was added dropwise. After 30 minutes the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and then stirred for a further 1 hour. Aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate was added, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethylether. The material thus obtained was purified by flash chromatography to yield a pale yellow liquid which solidified on cooling.
