Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl 2-(3-((5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)phenyl)acetate 1106 (0.127 g, 0.44 mmol) in dioxane (3 mL) was added 4N HCl in dioxane (1 mL) and stirred under an atmosphere of Argon for 2 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residue diluted with water (5 mL) and the pH adjusted to 12 with 2.5 N NaOH. The mixture was washed with dichloromethane (4×2 mL) and the pH adjusted to 6 with 1 N HCl. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×2 mL) and the organic layers combined, washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The Na2SO4 was removed by filtration and the volatiles removed under reduced pressure to give 0.023 g of 2-(3-((5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)phenyl)acetic acid 1107.
