Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(5-Piperidin-4-yl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (20 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 4-(3-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Example 2, 1.64 g, 4.96 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (35 ml). After 2.5 h at rt, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residual solid was suspended in EtOAc (150 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous Na2CO3 (20 ml). The aqueous was separated and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound: RT=3.48 min, m/z (ES+)=231.2 [M+H]+.
