Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-{(1S,2R)-2-[1-(3-isopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)piperidin-4-yl]cyclopropyl}ethanol (367 mg, 0.943 mmol) in DMF (3 ml) at room temperature under nitrogen was added 4-nitrophenol (144 mg, 1.037 mmol), followed by cesium carbonate (614 mg, 1.886 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. Ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added and washed with water followed by brine. The organic layer was then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product which was used for the next reaction without further purification. LCMS: retention 1.24 min/2.0 minute run: (ESI) m/z 401 [M+H]+.
