Procedure

A suspension of 10.00 g of 4-[5-(3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)pentyloxy]benzaldehyde, 10.0 g of potassium carbonate and 7.14 g of tosylmethyl isocyanide (4-CH3C6H4 --SO2CH2NC) in 90 ml of methanol was heated at reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was extracted with methylene dichloride. The extract was washed with water, the product isolated and recrystallized from isopropyl acetate-hexane. Further purification by flash filtration through a silica gel pad, eluting with isopropyl acetate, and recrystallization from isopropyl acetate-hexane gave 5.43 g (48%) of 3-methyl-5-{5-[4-(5-oxazolyl)phenoxy]pentyl}isoxazole, yellow powder, m.p. 91°-93° C.
