Potassium Iodide → (S)-2-ethoxy-3-{2-ethyl-4-[2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 1 f], (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (example 8 g]) was reacted with 4-chloromethyl-2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazole (prepared from 2-fluoro-benzaldehyde and diacetyl monoxyme followed by treatment with POCl3 in analogy to the procedures described in examples 5 a] and 2 b]) in the presence of cesium carbonate and potassium iodide to yield (S)-2-ethoxy-3-{2-ethyl-4-[2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid methyl ester as colorless liquid.
