Procedure

A solution of the above-prepared 2,4-diphenyl-oxazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (500 mg, 1.70 mmole, 1.0 eq) in dioxane (6 ml) was treated with 2N NaOH(1.7 ml, 3.4 mmole, 2.0 eq) and the mixture stirred at room temperature overnight under nitrogen. The mixture was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and 2.0N HCl. The organic phase washed with 0.5N HCl and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 426 mg of the title compound as a crude yellow solid. The product was used directly in the next step, without purification.
