Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[5-(5,6-diethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenol (100 mg, 0.296 mmol) in isopropanol (10 mL) and 3 N aq. NaOH (3 mL), (S)-3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (98 mg, 0.89 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 24 h before another portion of (S)-3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (98 mg, 0.89 mmol) is added. Stirring is continued at 60° C. for 2 days. The mixture is diluted with EA and washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution. The org. extract is dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product is purified by chromatography on prep. TLC plates with EA-heptane to give (S)-3-{4-[5-(5,6-diethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenoxy}-propane-1,2-diol (14 mg) as a red oil; LC-MS: tR=0.93 min, [M+1]+=412.16.
