Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared from 4-[2-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylsulfanyl]-2-(2,2,2-trichloro-ethoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]-benzoic acid (65 mg, 0.135 mmol) and methane-sulfonic acid 4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl ester (27.4 mg, 0.136 mmol) in the same manner as described for 4-[2-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylsulfanyl]-2-(2,2,2-trichloro-ethoxy-carbonyl)-ethyl]-benzoic acid 2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazol-4-ylmethylester. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using n-heptane/EtOAc 7:3 as the eluent to afford the final product as an oil (47.6 mg, 45%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.95-7.97 (d, 2H), 7.47-7.49 (d, 2H), 7.24-7.29 (m, 4H), 7.07-7.08 (m, 2H), 6.91-6.95 (m, 2H), 5.33 (s, 2H), 4.62-4.75 (dd, 2H), 3.55 (t, 1H), 3.25 (t, 1H), 3.13 (s, 3H), 2.79-3.04 (m, 6H). Mass Spectrum: M−H+ 663.04.
