Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)aniline (1 g, 6.2 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (1.1 g, 13 mmol) in a 2:1 mixture of acetone/water (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Benzylchloroformate (0.92 mL, 6.5 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was brought to room temperature and stirred for 30 minutes at which point LCMS indicated completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and filtered on a glass flit to give (3-[1,3,4]Oxadiazol-2-yl-phenyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester as a white powder (1.7 g, 93%). M+1=296.4
