Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-(3-(3-chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)phenyl)methanol (0.100 g, 0.290 mmol) in THF (1.5 ml) was added DBU (0.048 ml, 0.319 mmol) followed by diphenyl phosphorazidate (0.069 ml, 0.319 mmol). After about 15 h the reaction mixture was poured into ether and saturated NaHCO3. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo and purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluting with EtOAc/Hep) to provide 5-(4-(azidomethyl)phenyl)-3-(3-chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (0.066 g, 60%) as a colorless solid. LCMS (Table 1, Method c) Rt=3.22 min, m/z 370 (M+H)+
