Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.29 g of 3-bromo-N-[2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]isonicotinamide, 4 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 0.25 g of triphenylphosphine, 0.42 g of 40% toluene solution of diethyl azodicarboxylate was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred while heating at 50° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 0.24 g of 2-(3-bromopyridin-4-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoxazole (hereinafter, referred to as “active compound 27”).
