Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-hydroxy-1-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-2-(3-methoxybenzyl)cycloheptane (5.2 g) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (500 mg) in toluene (50 ml) was stirred under reflux for 4 hours. The solution was washed with water, sat. NaHCO3 and brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford 1-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-7-(3-methoxybenzyl)-1-cycloheptene (4.7 g).
