Ammonia → 5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyloxazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyloxazole-4-carboxylic acid (prepared according to the method described for 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)oxazole-4-carboxylic acid in Example M-1, 0.032 g, 0.11 mmol) and hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (0.02 g, 0.13 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) and DMF (1 mL) was added 0.5M ammonia in dioxane (1 mL, 0.5 mmol), followed by PS-carbodiimide resin. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was passed through a MP-CO3 resin cartridge and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC to afford 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyloxazole-4-carboxamide (0.008 g, 0.03 mmol, 27%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 3.85 (3H, s), 7.10 (2H, d), 7.60 (3H, m), 7.66 (1H, br. s), 7.78 (1H, br. s), 8.14 (2H, m), 8.37 (2H, d). LCMS (2) Rt: 3.16 min; m/z (ES+) 295.
