Reaction Steps

Into a 8-mL vial purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed [3-chloro-5-(2-methylphenyl)-1,2-thiazol-4-yl]methanol (80 mg, 0.33 mmol, 1.00 equiv), ethyl 3-(2-ethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (89.17 mg, 0.40 mmol, 1.20 equiv), ADDP (210.87 mg, 0.84 mmol, 2.52 equiv), n-Bu3P (101.42 mg), Tol (1.5 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 60° C. in an oil bath. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:6). This resulted in 123 mg (83%) of ethyl 3-(4-[[3-chloro-5-(2-methylphenyl)-1,2-thiazol-4-yl]methoxy]-2-ethylphenyl)propanoate as colorless oil. Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C21H21FO5, 444.1 (M+H). found 444.1.
