반응 단계

[2-(6-Chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester (4.8 g, 17.98 mmol) is dissolved in anhydrous dimethylformamide (100 mL) and allowed to stir under nitrogen. Benzenethiol (2.78 mL, 27 mmol) is added by syringe, followed by anhydrous cesium carbonate (12.6 g, 36 mmol). The mixture is allowed to stir under nitrogen 50° C. and monitored by HPLC. After complete consumption of strating material, the solution is quenched with 1N sodium hydroxide solution, diluted with ethyl acetate, and then enough water added to dissolve the solids. The two phases are separated and the organic layer is washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The pure (5-Methyl-2-(6-phenylsulfanyl-pyridin-3-yl)-oxazol-4-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester (4.51 g, 13.2 mmol) is isolated in 74% yield after column chromatography.
