Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-(benzyloxy)benzyl)-5-methyloxazole (M5.2) (3.23 mmol) in THF (25 mL) at −78° C., was added dropwise LDA (4.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 18 minutes, followed by addition of ethyl bromoacetate (4.5 mmol). It was allowed to warm to room temperature for 3 hours, followed by addition of water, which was extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4 using standard work up conditions. Column chromatography (1/3 EtOAc/hexane) of the residue afforded compound M5.3. MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 366 (M+H).
