Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-[6-(4-fluorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazol-5-yl]ethanone (0.0374 g, 0.000153 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (3.0 ml) was heated to 100° C. for 24 hrs. HPLC showed complete consumption of the starting material. The volatiles were removed in vacuo, yielding a brown solid (0.046 g, quantitative). M.p.=187-189° C.; 300 MHz 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.03 (s, 1H), 7.72-7.64 (m, 3H), 7.46 (s, 1H), 7.13-7.10 (m, 2H), 5.19 (d, J=12.5 Hz, 1H), 3.07 (bs, 3H), 2.55 (bs, 3H). LCMS: 300 [M+H]. Calc. for C16H14FN3O2: C, 64.21; H, 4.71; N, 14.04. Found C, 64.22; H, 4.31; N, 14.10.
