Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 95 mg (0.5 mmol) of 3-methoxy-4-(5-oxazolyl)aniline, 73 mg (0.5 mmol) of N-tert-butyloxalamic acid, 134 mg (0.7 mmol) of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 75 mg (0.55 mmol) of 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole in 4 ml of dichloromethane was stirred a room temperature for 18 hours. The resulting mixture was washed with 2M hydrochloric acid and saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with petrol and collected by filtration to give 128 mg of N-tert-butyl-N′-[3-methoxy-4-(5-oxazolyl)phenyl]oxalamide as a pale yellow solid. MS: 318 (M+H)+.
