Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.1 mole 2-(4-chloromethylphenyl)benzoxazole (C) and 0.1 mole dimethyl 4-hydroxybenzylidenemalonate (D) in 300 ml. 2-butanone containing 100 g. potassium carbonate was refluxed for 18 hours and poured onto 1,000 g. ice/water. Filtration, washing with water and recrystallization from methyl cellosolve/isopropyl alcohol gave a 41% yield of the light tan crystalline product II. ##STR5##
