Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirring suspension of 6-(3-cyanopropyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (25) (50 mg, 0.218 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (2 mL) at 0° C. under Argon was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (20 μL, 0.240 mmol). Then, a drop of anhydrous DMF was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was concentrated and the crude solid was dried under vacuum. To a mixture of the acid chloride and methyl 3-(3-(3-amino-4-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (31) (31 mg, 0.109 mmol) cooled to ° C. under Argon was added anhydrous pyridine (2 mL). The reaction was stirred to room temperature under Argon for 20 minutes. The solvent was concentrated. The crude product methyl 3-(3-(3-(6-(3-cyanopropyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamido)-4-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (F59) was purified by silica chromatography. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 10.13 (s, 1H), 9.38-9.36 (m, 1H), 8.66 (s, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.86-7.82 (m, 2H), 7.63-7.60 (m, 1H), 7.51 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.39-4.34 (m, 2H), 4.31-4.24 (m, 1H), 4.21-4.18 (m, 2H), 3.59 (s, 3H), 2.81-2.77 (m, 2H), 2.60-2.52 (m, 2H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 1.97-1.90 (m 2H).
