Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde (3.07 g, 10 mmol) synthesized according to the method described in WO95/18125 in toluene (40 ml) were added 2,4-pentanedione (1.2 g, 12 mmol), acetic acid (300 mg) and piperidine (425 mg). While removing water through Dean-Stark trap, the mixture was refluxed under heating. Five hours later, toluene was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) and the fraction containing the objective substance was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (2.3 g, yield 60%) as a yellow oil.
