Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a solution of methyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)oxazole-4-carboxylate (231 mg, 1.47 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (0.9 mL) was treated with MeI (0.11 mL, 1.76 mmol) followed by Ag2O (511 mg, 2.21 mmol) and the resulting mixture (protected from light) was stirred overnight at 40° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by FC (1:1 hept-EA) gave the title compound as a colorless oil: TLC: rf (1:1 hept-EA)=0.33. LC-MS-conditions 07: tR=0.49 min, [M+H]+=172.20.
