Reaction Steps
To a stirred solution of (S)-5-(5-(1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-isopropoxybenzonitrile (21 mg, 0.06 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1 mL) was added 1M tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride (0.3 mL, 0.3 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EA (10 mL), washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine, and dried over MgSO4. The product was purified by chromatography (EA/hexanes) to afford 8 mg (81%) of (S)-5-(5-(1-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-isopropoxybenzonitrile 1 as a white solid.
