Procedure

12.4 g of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-5-(4-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole are dissolved in 110 ml of dichloromethane and admixed with 57 ml of trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours and subsequently concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is repeatedly taken up in dichloromethane and reconcentrated to remove any remaining trifluoroacetic acid. The mixture is finally triturated with diethyl ether, giving 8.1 g of the product as a white solid.
