Cyanamide → HCID 15676053, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3-(2-Fluoro-4-biphenylyl)-2-oxo-1-butanol (3.57 g, 13.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (35 ml) was added cyanamide (3.65 g, 77.6 mmol) in water and 2N-sodium hydroxide to pH 10. After the addition, the mixture was stirred overnight, then cyanamide (3.65 g, 77.6 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture to pH 10, the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with ether and the extracts were washed with water, dried over and evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue, which was chromatographed to afford 2-Amino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)oxazole as crystalline material (1.05 g, 27% yield): mp 150.5°-151.5° C.
