Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-(5-(2-cyclopentyl-6-methoxypyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2-ethyl-6-methylphenoxy)acetic acid (780 mg, 1.65 mmol) in THF (30 mL), HOBt (267 mg, 1.98 mmol) followed by EDC HCl (379 mg, 1.98 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 5 min before ethanolamine (121 mg, 1.98 mmol) is added. Stirring is continued for 3 h. The mixture is diluted with water and sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution and extracted twice with EA. The combined org. extracts are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by prep. HPLC to give the title compound (202 mg) as a colourless oil; LC-MS: tR=1.07 min, [M+H]+=481.01; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.90 (s, 1H), 7.89 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=0.5 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (t br, J=5.3 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 4.39 (s, 2H), 4.02 (s, 3H), 3.87 (t, J=4.9 Hz, 2H), 3.63 (m, 2H), 3.51 (s, 2H), 3.20-3.29 (m, 1H), 2.73 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 2.06-2.15 (m, 2H), 1.84-1.95 (m, 4H), 1.70-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.33 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H).
