Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazole-6-carbaldehyde (Intermediate 7, 300 mg, 1.84 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) were added potassium carbonate (633 mg, 4.58 mmol) and (3-bromopropoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (0.47 mL, 2.03 mmol), and the resulting mixture was heated to 75° C. Upon complete disappearance of starting material (ca 16 hours), the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid residue was treated with CH2Cl2 and stirred for 5 min. The suspension was filtered through Celite® and the solid residue washed with additional CH2Cl2. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness and the crude was purified by column chromatography over silica gel, eluting with Hexane:Et2O (from 0 to 32% of Et2O) to give the title compound as a white solid (550 mg, 89% yield).
