Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-5-[3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-isoquinolinyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]benzonitrile (Example 3, 28.8 mg, 0.080 mmol), ethyl bromoacetate (35.5 μl, 0.32 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (130 mg, 0.40 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then irradiated to 60° C. for 5 min in the microwave. The suspension was added to an SCX cartridge, and the product eluted with methanolic ammonia. Concentration in vacuo gave a crude product (43 mg) that was purified by MDAP to give the title compound as a clear film (11.6 mg, 32%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.41 (1H, d), 8.33 (1H, dd), 8.09 (1H, br. s), 8.01 (1H, d), 7.34 (1H, apparent t), 7.21 (1H, d), 7.12 (1H, d), 4.80 (1H, sept), 4.24 (2H, q), 4.00 (2H, s), 3.52 (2H, s), 3.35 (2H, t), 3.07 (2H, t), 1.48 (6H, d), 1.31 (3H, t); m/z (ES) 447 [M+H]+.
