Dichloromethane → Hydrazine

Reaction Steps

Alternatively, as also shown in Scheme VI, intermediate III-2 can be treated with hydrazine and an appropriate base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or excess hydrazine in a suitable organic solvent such as DCM, THF, DCE, acetone, DMF or acetonitrile to give intermediate VI-3. Intermediate VI-3 can then be treated with BrCN in the presence of a suitable base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, K2CO3, NaHCO3, or NaOAc in an appropriate organic solvent such as DCE, DCM, THF, ether, or acetonitrile at room temperature or elevated temperatures to give oxadiazole VI-4. Functionalization of the amino group affords oxadiazoles VI-5 (Arzneimittel-Forschung (2003), 53(5), 301-306; Heterocyclic Communications (2003), 9(2), 199-202; Arzneimittel-Forschung (2003), 53(1), 44-52).
