Procedure

A mixture of 2-(4-cyclohexylphenoxy)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.030 mmol) (see Ex. 29, Part C), toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-(5-methyl-2-biphenyl-4-yl-oxazol-4-yl)ethyl ester (0.030 mmol) (see Ex. 1, Part I) and 325 mesh K2CO3 (0.084 g, 0.60 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was heated to reflux for 24 h under N2. Aqueous 5N NaOH (0.5 mL) and additional ethanol (1 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and it was heated at reflux for an additional 2 h. The reaction was cooled and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was acidified with aqueous 1 N HCl (5 mL), extracted with water and CH2Cl2 and the organic layer dried by passing it through a Varian Chem Elut 1003 cartridge. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give 3-{4-[2-(2-biphenyl-4-yl-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethoxy]-phenyl}-2-(4-cyclohexyl-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.03 (d, 2H, J=8.60 Hz), 7.66–7.62 (m, 4H), 7.48–7.44 (m, 2H), 7.39–7.36 (m, 1H), 7.19 (d, 3H, J=8.60 Hz), 7.07 (d, 2H, J=8.60 Hz), 6.83 (q, 3H, J=3.52 Hz), 4.13 (t, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 3.24 (d, 1H, J=13.30 Hz), 3.12 (d, 1H, J=13.30 Hz), 2.99 (t, 2H, J=66.5 Hz), 2.38 (s, 3H), 1.82–1.69 (m, 4H), 1.41 (s, 3H), 1.37–1.22 (m, 6H). MS (ES+) m/z mass calcd for C40H42NO5 616.31, found 616.3.
