Reaction Steps

Rhodium (II) acetate dimer (33 mg) was added to a mixture of methyl 3-[4-[2-[N-(2-benzoxazolyl)-N-methylamino]ethoxy]phenyl]-2-diazopropanoate (2.80 g), ethanol (2.16 mL) and benzene (50 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 15 minutes, heated at reflux for a further 15 minutes, then cooled and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using 1.5% methanol in dichloromethane as eluent to afford the title compound as a gum.
