(4,5-Diaryloxazol-2-yl)propionic and butyric acids having anti-inflammatory activity had previously been prepared by esterification of aroylarylcarbinols with a reactive derivative of butanedioic and pentanedioic acids, for instance, succinic or glutaric anhydride, isolation of the keto ester so formed and cyclization of the keto ester with a nitrogen-donating cyclizing agent, for instance, ammonium acetate in acetic acid. It has now been found that the omission of the isolation of the keto ester intermediate improves the purity of the oxazole product.
