Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [3-[[2-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methyl]phenoxy]acetic acid (140 mg) in a mixture of THF (10 ml) and water (10 ml) was added acetyl chloride (1.0 ml) dropwise at 0° C. keeping pH 8-9 with 1N NaOH solution. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with water, 1N-HCl and brine. The dried solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by trituration with hexane to afford [3-[[2-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-1-acetylpyrrolidin-3-yl]methyl]phenoxy]acetic acid (150 mg).
