Sodium hydride → 2-(3-(Benzyloxy)-4-bromo-5-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methoxy)phenyl)-5-methyloxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (0.953 g, 39.7 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(benzyloxy)-4-bromo-N-(prop-2-ynyl)-5-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)-methoxy)benzamide (6.49 g, 13.2 mmol) in dioxane (100 mL) and the mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature and quenched by slow addition of saturated NaHCO3. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate/diethyl ether and washed with water (5×), saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to a thick brown liquid. Flash chromatography (80 g silica gel, 5-40% EtOAc in heptane) provided 2-(3-(benzyloxy)-4-bromo-5-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methoxy)phenyl)-5-methyloxazole as an orange oil (3.33 g). MS (M+1)=492.21. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 7.30-7.58 (m, 7H), 6.86 (d, J=1.0 Hz, 1H), 5.40 (s, 2H), 5.25 (s, 2H), 3.80-3.92 (m, 2H), 2.41 (s, 3H), 0.95-1.04 (m, 2H), 0.02 (s, 10H).
