Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3-isopropyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl)-cyclohexanone (Intermediate 11; 600 mg, 2.9 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (160 mg, 3.2 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) was heated at reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and sodium borohydride (220 mg, 5.8 mmol) was added portionwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 h and then at room temperature overnight. Water was added and the aqueous layer was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and evaporated to give [4-(3-isopropyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl)-cyclohexyl]-hydrazine (280 mg, 43%) which was used directly in the next step without further purification. Mass spectrum M+=224.
