Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-oxazole (10 g) in DMF (80 mL) was added sodium methoxide (28% methanol solution, 11.3 g) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hr under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., and diluted with water, and the resultant solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (10.4 g).
