Reaction Steps

7-(3,5-Dimethyl-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl)-3-(4-methoxy-2-methyl-phenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-pyrazolo[5,1-b]oxazole (Intermediate C) (100 mg, 0.285 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (5 ml). The mixture was placed under an atmosphere of flushed with N2 and treated with boron tribromide (1.423 ml, 1.423 mmol) dropwise at RT. After approximately 30 mins, the reaction was quenched by careful addition of H2O. The mixture was transferred to a separating funnel and extracted with DCM (50 ml). The organic portion was separated and washed with 1M HCl, 1M NaOH, brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give a brown solid. Trituration with EtOAc afforded the title compound as an off white solid. LC-MS Rt 1.02 mins; MS m/z 338.2 [M+H]+; Method=2minLC—30_v002. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.25 (d, 1H), 6.8 (s, 1H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 6H), 2.2 (s, 3H), 2.15 (s, 3H).
