Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-[(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-5-oxazolepropionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixed solution of 3-[2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-oxazolyl]propionic acid (1.43 g), 2-mercapto-4-methylpyrimidine hydrochloride (1.05 g), potassium carbonate (2.76 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was stirred at 110° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 10 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and acidified with 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and recrystallized from methanol to give 3-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-5-oxazolepropionic acid (1.65 g, yield 88%) as colorless prism crystals. melting point: 174–175° C.
