Acetyl chloride → HCID 59167781, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 5-[4-(2-amino-phenyl)-oxazol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (4.05 g, 14.8 mmol) and triethylamine (2.26 mL, 16.2 mmol) in THF (40 mL) and stir at room temperature. Add acetyl chloride (1.16 mL, 16.2 mmol) and allow the mixture to stir overnight at room temperature. Concentrate the mixture and partition the residue between aq NaHCO3 and EtOAc. Dry the combined extracts over Na2SO4 before concentrating. Chromatograph the residue over silica gel (MeOH/CH2Cl2) which allows for the isolation of 5-[4-(2-acetylamino-phenyl)-oxazol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (3.51 g, 75%). MS (ES): (M+1)+ 317.2 m/z.
