Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-iodo-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole-4-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.7 mmol) in DCE (25 mL) was added trimethyl tin hydroxide (1.70 g, 9.4 mmol) and the resultant mixture stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. Trimethyl tin hydroxide (0.24 g, 1.3 mmol) was then added and the reaction stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and extracted with DCM. The organic phase was washed with 1M aqueous HCl and brine, dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo to give 2-iodo-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (0.92 g, 2.7 mmol, 99%) as a white solid which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 3.88 (3H, s), 6.99 (2H, d), 8.13 (2H, d). LCMS (1) Rt: 1.03 min; m/z (ES+) 346.
