Reaction Steps

To a solution of 18.5 parts of 2,5-dimethyl-4-oxazolemethanol in 200 parts of trichloromethane there were added dropwise 21.1 parts of thionyl chloride. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue was co-evaporated with methylbenzene, yielding 26.4 parts (100%) of 4-(chloromethyl)-2,5-dimethyloxazole hydrochloride (interm. 26).
