Reaction Steps

Dehydration/Saponification; 6-[Fluoro-(5-phenyl-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl)-methyl]-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid. A solution of ethyl 6-[2-(2-benzoylhydrazino)-1-fluoro-2-oxoethyl]-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate (51 mg, 0.13 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) was treated with Burgess reagent (45 mg, 0.19 mmol). The reaction vessel was sealed and heated to 120° C. in the microwave reactor for 20 minutes. The reaction was evaporated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography (10-40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give ethyl 6-[fluoro(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate as a white solid. ESIMS calcd 383.1 (M++H), found 383.0 (M++H). To a solution of ethyl 6-[fluoro(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate in THF (2.5 mL) was added 1M sodium hydroxide (5.0 mL, 5.0 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1M HCl solution. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 6-[fluoro(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid as a white solid. ESIMS calcd 355.1 (M++H), found 355.0 (M++H).
