Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[2-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-4-oxazolyl]ethoxy]benzaldehyde (2.0 g), ethyl cyanoacetate (0.795 g), piperidine (0.15 g) and pyridine (30 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at 100°-110° C. The reaction mixture was poured into water. Resulting crystalline precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from dichloromethane-ethanol to give ethyl 4-[2-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-4-oxazolyl]ethoxy]-α-cyanocinnamate (2.45 g, 96%) as colorless needles, m.p.120°-121° C.
