Sodium Hydroxide → Ethyl 1-{[7-(5-{3-chloro-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl]methyl}-4-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-piperidinecarboxylate hydrochloride (969 mg) and 7-(5-{3-chloro-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (D61) (396 mg) was added to a solution of NaOH (200 mg) in ethanol (10 mL). After stirring for 0.5 hour, ethanol was evaporated off and then dichloromethane (40 mL) containing AcOH (0.5 mL) was added to the residue. NaBH(OAc)3 (1.06 g) was added to the above mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then terminated by saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was separated and washed with water and brine. After the solvent was evaporated off the residue was purified by Mass Directed AutoPrep to afford ethyl 1-{[7-(5-{3-chloro-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl]methyl}-4-piperidinecarboxylate (D79) (308 mg) as a yellow solid. MS (ES): C29H33ClN4O4 requires 536; found 537.3 (M+H+).
