Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution N-hydroxy-acetamidine (137 mg, 1.85 mmol) in THF (5 mL) is added 4 angstrom molecular sieves (500 mg) followed by a 60% oil dispersion of NaH (80 mg, 2.0 mmol). The heterogeneous mixture is heated at 60° C. for 1 hour at which time a solution of 3-(2,2-dimethyl-indan-1-yl)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester, which can be prepared as described in Example 10, (200 mg, 0.74 mmol) in THF (5 mL) is added. The reaction is heated at reflux for 1.5 hours, at which time the reaction is cooled to 0° C. and quenched with water. The reaction is diluted with dichloromethane and filtered. The layers are separated and the aqueous layer is extracted three times with dichloromethane. The organic layers are combined, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (ethyl acetate-dichloromethane, 0:1 to 1:9) to afford 5-[3-(2,2-Dimethyl-indan-1-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-3-methyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazole; HRMS: (ESI) m/z 259.1566 [(M+H)+: Calcd for C17H19N4O: 295.1559]; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 0.75 (s, 3 H), 1.27 (s, 3 H), 2.50 (s, 3 H), 2.71-3.10 (m, 2 H), 6.37 (s, 1 H), 7.17 (s, 1 H), 7.23-7.43 (m, 4 H), 7.98 (s, 1 H).
