Reaction Steps

A mixture of the isonicotinic hydrazide (13.7 g, 100 mmol), triethylorthoformate (60 mL) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (30 mg) was heated at 130° C. for 12 h. Excess triethylorthoformate was removed under vacuum. The crude was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give 14.8 g of 5-pyridin-4-yl-[1,3,4]oxadiazole.
