Nitrogen → 2-[4-(2-Methyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-butyl]-oxazole-4-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a suspension of 2-[4-(2-methyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-butyl]-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (489 mg, 1.92 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was treated with a drop of DMF followed by oxalyl chloride (0.20 mL, 2.30 mmol) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at rt for 1 h. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure (coevaporation with toluene) to give 2-[4-(2-methyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-butyl]-oxazole-4-carbonyl chloride as a yellow oil. LC-MS-conditions 02: tR=0.96 min [M+H]+=274.37.
