Procedure

Combine 5.0 g (0.046 mol) 4-methylphenol and 3.9 g (0.46 mol) 2-methyl-2-oxazoline under a nitrogen atmosphere and heat to 175° C. for 18 hours. After this time, cool the reaction mixture and add 50 mL of methylene chloride. Wash the organics with 3×10 mL of 10% potassium hydroxide, dry over sodium sulfate and remove the solvents to obtain the title compound.
