The condensation of cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (I) with 3-fluorobenzyl bromide (II) by means of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and Zn in dimethoxyethane gives the ethanone (III), which is treated with lead tetraacetate in acetic acid, yielding the alpha-acetoxyethanone (IV). The cyclization of (IV) with ammonium acetate in refluxing acetic acid affords the oxazole derivative (V), which is treated with chlorosulfonic acid at 100 C, yielding the 4-chlorosulfonyl derivative (VI). Finally, this compound is amidated with ammonia in THF/water.
