Procedure

A mixture of 23.6 g 4-(1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)phenol (U.S. Pat. No. 4,218,458, Example XIX), 35 g 5-(5-bromopentyl)-3-methylisoxazole and 40 g milled potassium carbonate in 1.5 liters acetonitrile under nitrogen was heated to reflux. A catalytic amount of sodium iodide was added and refluxing continued for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to a solid residue. The latter was dissolved in ethyl acetate and the solution washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from triethylamine to give 18.5 g 3-methyl-5-{5-[4-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenoxy]pentyl}isoxazole, white needles, m.p. 84°-86° C.
