Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 10 c], [rac]-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-phenyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (example 10 b]) was reacted with [rac]-1-[4-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazol-5-yl]-ethanol [PCT Int. Appl. (2002), WO 02/062774 A1] in the presence of tributylphosphine and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl azodicarboxamide to yield 2-ethoxy-3-(2-methyl-4-{1-[4-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazol-5-yl]-ethoxy}-phenyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester as a mixture of two diastereomeric racemates as colorless liquid.
