Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-(4-fluoro-1-naphthyl)-2-(2-methyl-1-imidazolyl)-4-oxazolebutanol (180 mg), 2-methylphenol (108 mg), tributylphosphine (202 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was added 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (252 mg) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After the reaction mixture was concentrated, the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and 5-(4-fluoro-1-naphthyl)-2-(2-methyl-1-imidazolyl)-4-[4-(2-methylphenoxy)butyl]oxazole was obtained as an oil (180 mg, 80%) from an ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1, v/v)-eluted fraction.
