Acetic Acid → 3-(3-(3-(3-Chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)cyclopentylamino)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 3-(3-(3-chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)cyclopentanone (0.178 g, 0.555 mmol) in MeOH (6.94 ml) and DCE (6.94 ml) was added acetic acid (0.254 ml, 4.44 mmol) followed by 3-aminopropanoic acid (0.494 g, 5.55 mmol). After about 1 h sodium cyanoborohydride (0.017 g, 0.277 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After about 15 h the reaction mixture was filtered, rinsing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified by RP HPLC to provide 3-(3-(3-(3-chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)cyclopentylamino)propanoic acid. LCMS (Table 1, Method c) Rt=1.64 min, m/z 394 (M+H)+.
