Ammonia → 2-Iodo-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution 2-iodo-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (0.92 g, 2.7 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) and DMF (10 mL) was added hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (0.44 g, 2.9 mmol) followed by 0.5M ammonia in dioxane (22 mL, 11.0 mmol) and 1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.77 g, 4.0 mmol) and the reaction stirred at room temperature overnight. EtOAc was then added and the mixture washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using gradient of 0-50% EtOAc in DCM to afford 2-iodo-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole-4-carboxamide (0.66 g. 1.9 mmol, 70%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 3.79 (3H, s), 5.47 (1H, br. s), 6.90 (2H, d), 6.94 (1H, br. s), 8.14 (2H, d). LCMS (1) Rt: 1.84 min; m/z (ES+) 345.
