1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → (3R)-6-Cyclohexyl-N-hydroxy-3-(3-isopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)hexanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3R)-6-cyclohexyl-3-(3-isopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)hexanoic acid (Preparation 47) (175 mg, 0.57 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was treated with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (93 mg, 0.57 mmol) and the mixture stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 hour. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (40 mg, 0.57 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred for 18 hours. The mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane:methanol:0.88 ammonia (95:5:0.5) to afford the title compound as an oil (44 mg).
