p-Toluenesulfonic acid → 4-(1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undec-9-yl)-6-{[2'-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl}-7-propyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4-oxocyclohexyl)-6-{[2′-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl}-7-propyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one (0.20 g), propane-1,3-diol (0.058 g), 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (0.0072 g) and toluene (20 mL) was heated under reflux for 3 hr using a Dean-Stark trap. The reaction mixture was added to saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (0.087 g, 39%).
