Butyl bromide → cis-4-[5-(3-Butoxymethylcyclopentyl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of cis-[3-(3-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl)cyclopentyl]methanol (Preparation 5, 40 mg, 0.116 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 ml) was treated with sodium hydride (23 mg of a 60% dispersion in oil, 0.57 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (6 mg, 16 μmol). After stirring the mixture at rt for 10 min, 1-bromobutane (59 μl, 0.65 mmol) was introduced and stirring continued for 72 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue dissolved in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) and washed with water (2×5 ml). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. Flash chromatography (IH-EtOAc, 7:3) afforded the title compound: RT=3.99 min, m/z (ES−)=302.3 [M+H]+.
