Procedure
In analogy to the procedure described in example 1 f], (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(2-fluoro-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester was reacted with 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-oxazole in the presence of cesium carbonate and potassium iodide to yield (S)-2-ethoxy-3-[2-fluoro-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester as colorless liquid.
