Participants

Reaction Steps

A THF solution (450 ml) of 46.0 g of 4-bromotoluene was dropwise added to 6.38 g of magnesium in a nitrogen stream. After heating under reflux for 40 min, the reaction mixture was dropwise added at room temperature to a THF solution (260 ml) of 30 g of 2-(4-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyloxazoline. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr and then cooled, and an aqueous ammonium chloride was added thereto. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with a dilute sodium hydroxide solution and a saline solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated to prepare 38 g of the title compound in a crude form.
