Ammonia → HCID 57825027, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of iodine (1.65 g, 6.7 mmol) in ethyl acetate (25 mL) was added dropwise over 25 min to a mixture of 1-bromo-3-(1-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-vinyl)-benzene (1.75 g, 6.1 mmol) and silver cyanate in acetonitrile (30 mL) and ethyl acetate (15 mL), cooled in an ice bath. After complete addition, the reaction suspension was stirred for another 15 min at room temperature when TLC indicated the complete conversion of starting material. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate concentrated to give a dark grey oil. 25 mL of aqueous ammonia (25%) was added to the oil, and the mixture was stirred and warmed to 70° C. for 30 min, then kept at room temperature overnight. LC-MS at this point indicated complete conversion of the intermediate urea to the desired aminoxazoline. The reaction suspension was filtered, the solid was refluxed in toluene (20 mL) for 10 min, filtered hot (to remove residual, undissolved silver iodide), and the filtrate was left to cool to room temperature, followed by 1 h at −10° C. The pale-yellow crystalline solid was filtered off and dried at the rotary evaporator to dive 4-(3-bromo-phenyl)-4-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine (1.2 g, 57%).
