Trifluoroacetic acid → (3R)-3-{3-[(2-amino-2-oxoethoxy)methyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}6-cyclohexylhexanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl (3R)-3-{3-[(2-amino-2-oxoethoxy)methyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}-6-cyclohexylhexanoate (Preparation 90) (280 mg, 0.86 mmol) in dichloromethane (7 ml) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (3 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue azeotroped from toluene and dichloromethane. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient system of 100:0:0 (dichloromethane:methanol:acetic acid) gradually changing to 90:10:1 (dichloromethane:methanol:acetic acid) to afford a colourless oil which was triturated with diethyl ether and filtered to afford the title compound (155 mg).
