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

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 1 f], (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxy-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (example 21 f]) was reacted with 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-{4-[2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-propionic acid methyl ester as colorless solid.
