Triethylamine → Methanesulfonic acid 2-{2-ethyl-4-[5-(5-isobutyl-4-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-6-methyl-phenoxy}-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the compound of Example 47 (900 mg, 2.28 mmol) and triethylamine (322 mg, 3.18 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) is cooled to 0° C. before methanesulfonyl chloride (313 mg, 2.73 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 90 min. The mixture is diluted with DCM and washed with water. The org. extract is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by CC on silica gel eluting with heptane:EA 1:1 to give methanesulfonic acid 2-{2-ethyl-4-[5-(5-isobutyl-4-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-6-methyl-phenoxy}-ethyl ester (1.10 g) as a white solid; LC-MS: tR=1.16 min, [M+H]+=474.02.
