Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Phosphorousoxychloride (2 ml) was added to 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, 1-methyl-2-(4-iodobenzoyl)hydrazide (Intermediate 39) (150 mg) in acetonitrile (1 ml) and the reaction heated at 100° C. for 18 hours. The cooled reaction was poured onto ice/water (60 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×40 ml). The combined extracts were reduced to dryness under vacuum and the residue applied to a bond-elut (silica) and eluted with an ethyl acetate/cyclohexane gradient to give, after evaporation of the solvent, 2-(4-iodophenyl)-5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole.
