Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3,5-diethyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl)methanol (710 mg, 4.6 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (30 mL) was added tribromophosphane (465 μL, 4.9 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, and then DCM was evaporated. The residue was dried in vacuo, affording 4-(bromomethyl)-3,5-diethyl-1,2-oxazole, which was used without further purification.
