Reaction Steps

To boron trifluoride etherate (0.322 mL, 2.5 mmol) was added 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 4-(heptyloxy)benzoate (1.0 g, 2.3 mmol) and acetamide (4.91 g, 83.0 mmol) in DCM (10 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. then 140° C. for 16 h, DCM was distilled off. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with acetonitrile and stirred at RT for 1 h. The precipitate was isolated by filtration to afford 273 mg (23%) of 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)oxazole as a brown solid. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C22H24BrNO2: 414.3. found 414.0 [M+H]+, tR=3.00 min. (Method 4).
