Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[4-[2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl ]butyl]phenol (260 mg) in DMF (4 ml), 60% oily sodium hydride (44 mg) was added under ice cooling. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, (E)-4-chloromethyl-2-[2-(4-ethylphenyl)ethenyl]oxazole (272 mg) was added under ice cooling. After stirring overnight at room temperature, water was added under ice cooling. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water. The precipitate was dissolved in ethyl acetate and dried (magnesium sulfate), after which it was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to yield the titled compound (297 mg) as colorless crystals.
