Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 4-([4-[5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbonyl)piperazine-2,6-dione (300 mg, 0.53 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL), K2CO3 (140 mg, 1.01 mmol, 2.00 equiv), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (240 mg, 1.03 mmol, 2.00 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at 20° C. The resulting solution was diluted with 50 mL of brine. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×50 mL of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined. The mixture was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/5). This resulted in 235.9 mg (69%) of 4-([4-[5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbonyl)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)piperazine-2,6-dione as a off-white solid.
