Ethyl orthoformate → N-cyclopropyl-4'-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-6-methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Cyclopropyl-4′-(hydrazinocarbonyl)-6-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-3-carboxamide (Intermediate 40) (50 mg) in triethylorthoformate (5 ml) was heated at 150° C. for 5 hours. The excess triethylorthoformate was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified by bond-elut (silica), eluting with an ethyl acetate/cyclohexane gradient. The solvent was evaporated from the product fractions under vacuum to give N-cyclopropyl-4′-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-6-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-3-carboxamide.
