Dimethylformamide → ethyl (2E)-3-[4-({4-[({4-[(Z)-2-(2-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]-2-propenoate

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl (2E)-3-{4-[(4-([(4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)oxy]methyl}-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl}-2-propenoate (0.87 g), [(2-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium chloride (1.06 g), anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.36 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 15 hrs. Water was poured into the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:3, v/v) to give ethyl (2E)-3-[4-({4-[({4-[(Z)-2-(2-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]-2-propenoate as colorless crystals (0.14 g, yield 17%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 119-120° C.
