Reaction Steps

5-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 3.4 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH:H2O (5:1, 60 mL) and then lithium hydroxide (1.0 g, 41.8 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated to 60° C. for 10 minutes then allowed to cool. The reaction was submitted to acidic aqueous/CH2Cl2 workup then concentrated to afford the title compound.
