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

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 1 f], (2S)-3-(2-chloro-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-2-ethoxy-propionic acid methyl ester (example 15 d]) 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)-3-{2-chloro-4-[2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-phenyl}-2-ethoxy-propionic acid methyl ester as colorless liquid.
