2-Phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid → HCID 66738198, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-fluoronitrobenzene (1.41 g, 10 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine (2.01 g, 10 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 583 mg, 14.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hrs. After purification through flash column chromatography, 4-(4-nitro-phenoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.51 g, 78% yield) was obtained as a solid. This nitro compound was hydrogenated to the corresponding amine and coupled with 2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyloxazole-4-carboxylic acid to give 4-{4-[(2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazole-4-carbonyl)-amino]-phenoxy}-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. LC-MS showed a single peak with a retention time of 4.08 min. LRMS calcd for C27H28F3N3O5 (M+1) 532.20, obsd 532.1
