Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a solution of 2-(2-(chloromethyl)oxazol-4-yl)propan-2-ol (200 mg, 1.14 mmol) in MeI (3.5 mL) was treated with Ag2O (396 mg, 1.71 mmol) and the resulting mixture (protected from light) was stirred for 26 h at 40° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the MeI was removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by FC (7:3 hept-EA) gave the title compound as a colorless oil: TLC: rf (7:3 hept-EA)=0.33. LC-MS-conditions 06: tR=0.64 min, [M+H]+=190.17.
