Reaction Steps

A solution of cyclohexyl-(5-methyl-oxazol-2-yl)-phenyl-methanol (Intermediate 3) (3.0 g, 11.1 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (22 mL) was treated with N-bromo-succinimide (2.16 g, 12.2 mmol) followed by 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (0.18 g, 2.1 mmol). The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 2.5 h and then allowed to cool to RT. Satd. sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (aq.) was added and the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine and the combined aqueous layers were extracted with DCM. The combined organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product as a brown oil. Purification was achieved via column chromatography eluting with 33-100% DCM/cyclohexane, followed by 25% EtOAc/DCM.
