Procedure

A mixture of 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-phenoxyhexanoic acid ethyl ester (0.030 mmol) (see Ex 61, Part C), toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-(2-biphenyl-3-yl-5-methyloxazol-4-yl)ethyl ester (0.030 mmol) (see Ex. 2, Part F) 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 2-{4-[2-(2-biphenyl-3-yl-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethoxy]-benzyl}-2-phenoxy-hexanoic acid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.12 (t, 1H, J=1.56 Hz), 7.86 (d, 1H, J=7.82 Hz), 7.58–7.54 (m, 3H), 7.42–7.35 (m, 3H), 7.30–7.18 (m, 3H), 6.97 (t, 1H, J=7.23 Hz), 6.93–6.87 (m, 4H), 6.68 (d, 2H, J=8.60 Hz), 4.11 (t, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 3.21 (s, 2H), 2.89 (t, 2H, J=6.65 Hz), 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.02–1.89 (m, 2H), 1.33–1.09 (m, 4H), 0.71 (t, 3H, J=7.04 Hz); MS (ES+) calcd for C37H38NO5: Found m/e 576.3 (M+1, 100%).
