Dimethylformamide → ethyl 5-{4-[(4-[{(4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)oxy}methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl}thiophene-2-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 5-{4-[(4-chloromethyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl}thiophene-2-carboxylate (4.63 g), 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (2.07 g), anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.52 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 1 hr. 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 to give ethyl 5-{4-[(4-{[(4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)oxy]methyl}-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl}thiophene-2-carboxylate as colorless crystals (5.50 g, yield 87%). Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 156-157° C.
