Participants

Reaction Steps

After a mixture of 4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyloxyamine (600 mg), ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-3-phenylpropionate (468 mg), acetic acid (0.331 ml), sodium acetate (317 mg) and ethanol (20 ml) was heated to reflux for 5 days, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. Water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to obtain ethyl Z-2,2-dimethyl-3-[4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyloxyimino]-3-phenylpropionate (273 mg, yield 28%) as a colorless oil from an ethyl acetate-hexane (2:9, v/v)-eluted fraction.
