Reaction Steps

Thus 2,2-diphenyl-4-(2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)butyronitrile described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,318,869 is reacted with sodium azide in DMF to provide 5-[1,1-diphenyl-3-(2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)propyl]-1H-tetrazole. This tetrazole is reacted with ethyl chloroglyoxylate in pyridine at -6° C to provide ethyl [1,1-diphenyl-3-(2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)propyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylate hydrochloride. This ester is hydrolysed in aqueous potassium hydroxide to provide 5-[1,1-diphenyl-3-(2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)propyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylic acid. Heating this acid for 15 minutes in an oil bath at 130°-140° provides 5-[1,1-diphenyl-3-(2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)propyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole. The hydrochloride salt melts at 233°-234.5° C.
