Triphenylphosphine → ethyl 2-((1S)-5-{2-[5-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)(1,3-oxazol-4-yl)]ethoxy}indanyl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the ethyl [(1S)-5-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl]acetate prepared in Example 135 (507.5 mg, 2.30 mmol), and 2-[5-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]ethanol prepared in Example 10 (500 mg, 2.30 mmol), TMAD (792.6 mg, 4.60 mmol), and Ph3P (1.21 g, 4.60 mmol) in 15 mL anhydrous DCM was stirred at rt under Ar for 12 hours. DCM was removed under reduced pressure. Flash chromatograph of the residue over silica gel using 1% CH3CN/CH2Cl2 gave ethyl 2-((1S)-5-{2-[5-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)(1,3-oxazol-4-yl)]ethoxy}indanyl)acetate (776.3 mg, 1.85 mmol, 80.5%). HPLC/MS (M+H)+m/z 420.5.
