Triethylamine → (S)-2-cyclopropyl-N-(quinuclidin-3-yl)benzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-cyclopropylbenzoxazole-4-carboxylic acid (65 mg, 0.32 mmol), (S)-(−)-3-aminoquinuclidine dihydrochloride (64 mg, 0.32 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (123 mg, 0.64 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (86 mg, 0.64 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 5 min, then triethylamine (0.17 mL, 1.28 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL), then washed with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate (10 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with dichloromethane (3×15 mL). The combined organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 89:10:1 dichloromethane/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide) to afford (S)—N-(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl)-2-cyclopropylbenzoxazole-4-carboxamide (43 mg, 43%) as a colorless semisolid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.43 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (dd, J=7.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (dd, J=8.0, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (t, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.28-4.22 (m, 1H), 3.49 (ddd, J=11.5, 9.5, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 3.10-2.85 (m, 4H), 2.75 (dd, J=14.0, 4.5 Hz, 1H), 2.28-2.20 (m, 1H), 2.12-2.06 (m, 1H), 2.00-1.90 (m, 1H), 1.75-1.69 (m, 2H), 1.60-1.50 (m, 1H), 1.35-1.22 (m, 4H); MS (ESI+) m/z 312 (M+H); HPLC >99% (AUC), tR=12.31 min.
