Thionyl Chloride → HCID 10873631, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-[4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl)ethoxy]phenyl]butyrate (320 mg) and thionyl chloride (3 ml) was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel. The fractions eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4, v/v) gave ethyl 2-chloro-4-[4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl)ethoxy]phenyl]butyrate (210 mg, 63%) as an oil.
