Procedure
In analogy to the procedure described in example 7 c], [rac]-2-ethoxy-3-(2-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (example 47 c]) was reacted with 2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethanol in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of triphenylphosphine and DBAD (di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate) to yield [rac]-2-ethoxy-3-{2-ethoxy-4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethoxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid ethyl ester, which was further saponified in analogy to the procedure described in example 1 g], to yield [rac]-2-ethoxy-3-{2-ethoxy-4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethoxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid as colorless oil, which can be separated into its antipodes by methods known in the art, such as separation of the antipodes via diastereomeric salts by crystallization with optically pure amines such as e.g. (R) or (S)-1-phenyl-ethylamine, (R) or (S)-1-naphthalen-1-yl-ethylamine, brucine, quinine and quinidine or by separation of the antipodes by specific chromatographic methods using either a chiral adsorbens or a chiral eluent to give the title compound.
