Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of the 5-pyridin-4-yl-[1,3,4]oxadiazole (11.5 g, 78.2 mmol) in THF (300 mL) was added HMPA (5 ML) and n-BuLi (1.6 M solution in 48.9 mL of hexane) dropwise under N2 at −78° C. After 1 h, MgBr.Et2O (20.2 g, 78.2 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to −45° C. for 1 h before being treated with 2-Boc-amino-butyraldehyde (9.7 g, 50.8 mmol) in THF (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, quenched with saturated NH4Cl, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography to yield (S)-2-Boc-amino-1-(5-pyridin-4-yl-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl)-butan-1-ol (3.5 g).
