Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the method described for Reference Example 45, 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-3-(2-naphthyl)oxazole was allowed to react with methyl 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)valerate to give methyl 5-[4-[5-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl)-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]valerate. Then, according to the method described for Reference Example 42, methyl 5-[4-[5-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl)-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]valerate was subjected to reduction with lithium aluminum hydride to give 5-[4-[5-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl)-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]pentan-1-ol. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate--ether gave colorless needles, m.p.128°-129° C.
