Procedure
To a stirring suspension of ethyl 2-tert-butyloxazole-5-carboxylate (1.0 g, 5.07 mmol) in 1:1:1 THF/EtOH/H2O (15 ml) at RT was added LiOH.H2O (486 mg) and the mixture was stirred at RT for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was checked by LC-MS and the completed reaction was concentrated to an aqueous residue, acidified (pH 3-4) with 3M HCl and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were washed with brine (1×), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to afford desired product, 2-tert-butyloxazole-5-carboxylic acid (0.67 g, 78% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 12.9 (brs, 1H), 8.62 (s, 1H), 1.30 (s, 9H); (ESI) m/z: 170.0 (M+H+).
