Participants

Reaction Steps

6 g (26.307 mmol) of 4-(chloromethyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-oxazole were heated under reflux in 526 ml (52.613 mmol) of 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution for 3 h. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and the precipitated solid was filtered off, washed with 0.1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and dried under high vacuum. This gave 4.79 g (85% of theory) of the target compound.
