Procedure

A mixture of 2-(4-fluoro-phenoxy)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.030 mmol) (see Ex. 51, 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 3-{4-[2-(2-biphenyl-4-yl-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethoxy]-phenyl}-2-(4-fluoro-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.04 (d, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 7.68 (d, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 7.64 (d, 2H, J=7.04 Hz), 7.48–7.38 (m, 3H, 7.19 (d, 2H, J=8.99 Hz), 6.94–6.82 (m, 6H), 4.22 (t, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 3.23 (d, 1H, J=14.08 Hz), 3.12 (d, 1H, J=14.08 Hz), 3.05 (t, 2H, J=6.65 Hz) 2.42 (s, 3H), 1.37 (s, 3H); HRMS (ES+) m/z exact mass calcd for C34H31NO5F 552.2186, found 552.2202
