Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[5-(5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-2,6-dimethyl-phenol (35 mg, 1.18 mmol) in isopropanol (17 mL) is treated with 2 N aq. NaOH (8.6 mL) followed by epichlorohydrine (660 mg, 7.14 mmol). The mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 18 h before it is diluted with water and extracted twice with EA. The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4, filtered, evaporated and dried to give 3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-oxiranylmethoxy-phenyl)-5-(5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazole (480 mg) as a pale yellow oil; LC-MS: tR=1.24 min, [M+1]+=411.31.
