Reaction Steps

In a reactor tube, a mixture of N′-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzamidine (598 mg, 3.6 mmol), 4-pentynoic acid (350 mg, 3.6 mmol), HOBT (0.55 g, 3.6 mmol) and EDCI.HCl (1.03 g, 5.4 mmol) in dioxane (7.4 mL) was stirred at R.T for 3h. After this time the mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight in a reaction block. The mixture was concentrated and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography (Prepacked column 25 g with DCM as eluent) to afford 299 mg of 5-(but-3-ynyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (36%) as yellow oil.
