Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 2-{2-[5(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trifluoro-benzoyl)-2,3-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl]-phenoxymethyl}-furan-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Reaction Steps

[5-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-2-(2-triisopropylsilanyloxy-phenyl)-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl]-(2,4,6-trifluoro-phenyl)-methanone (0.67 mmol), prepared as described for [5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-(3-methoxy-2-triisopropylsilanyloxy-phenyl)-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl]-(2,4,6-trifluoro-phenyl)-methanone in example 3, is treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1.0 M in THF) (1.3 mmol) at room temperature. After 15 minutes, methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-3-furoate (0.74 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred for an additional 12 hours. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified on silica to yield 2-{2-[5(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trifluoro-benzoyl)-2,3-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl]-phenoxymethyl}-furan-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a yellow solid: LC/MS (ES+): 571.1 (M+1)+.
