Participants

Reaction Steps

By the procedure of Example 15, 4.19 g (0.03 mol) of glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride was added to a mixture of 100 ml toluene containing 4.87 g (0.02 mol) of ethyl 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-5-oxazolecarboxylate and 6.07 g (0.06 mol) of triethylamine. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 48 hours. The product was separated and then recrystallized from methylcyclohexane to yield 3.55 g of a yellow powder product (m.p.=62°-63° C.) identified in Table I.
