Reaction Steps

N-(Chlorocarbonyl)isocyanate (0.2 mL, 2.6 mmol) was added dropwise into a cold (−5° C.) mixture of N-{4′-[5-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-oxazol-4-yl]-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl}-hydroxylamine (1.1, 2.6 mmol), and tetrahydrofuran (20.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, poured into water, acidified with HCl (2 N), and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried over MgSO4. Evaporation and purification by flash chromatography on acidic silica gel (hexanes/EtOAc 2:1) gave a white solid (0.68 g, 53% yield): mp 196-198; MS m/e 493 (M+);
