Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(3,5-dichloro-4'-fluoro-2-[1,1'-biphenyl]yl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline (4.6 g, 13.6 mmol) and methyl iodide (7 ml) in nitromethane (30 ml) was stirred on a steam bath for sixteen hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with dry ether (200 ml) and, after cooling in an ice-bath, the crystalline product was collected to give 6 g (92%) of the title compound, mp 214°-216° C. dec. Crystallization from acetonitrile-ether (1:3, v:v) provided an analytical sample of the title compound, mp 218°-219.5° C. dec.
