Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-[3-(2-methylphenoxy)propyl]oxazole (30.0 g), 2-methylimidazole (20.6 g), potassium carbonate (34.6 g), and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred at 125 ° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (500 ml). The precipitated crystals were filtered, washed in sequence with water and isopropyl ether, and air-dried to give crude crystals of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2-methyl-1-imidazolyl)-5-[3-(2-methylphenoxy)propyl]oxazole (34.5 g).
