Potassium Iodide → (S)-3-{4-[2-(3-chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl}-2-ethoxy-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 1 f], (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (example 29 e]) was reacted with 4-chloromethyl-2-(3-chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazole (prepared from 3-chloro-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)-3-{4-[2-(3-chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl}-2-ethoxy-propionic acid methyl ester as colorless liquid.
