6-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoxazole → (E)-2-[2-(4-chloropropoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-6-methoxybenzoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 8 was followed starting with 4-chloropropoxybenzaldehyde of Example 8 (1.9 g, 10 mmol) and using 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzoxazole in place of 2-methylbenzoxazole (1.6 ml, 10 mmol) to give 2.4 g (69% yield) of (E)-2-[2-(4-chloropropoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-6-methoxybenzoxazole as an amber oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.29-6.99 (m, 9H), 4.22 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 3.24 (m, 2H), 2.51 (m, 2H).
