Sodium ethoxide → N-Cyclopropyl-4'-[5-(ethoxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-6-methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4′-[5-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-N-cyclopropyl-6-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-3-carboxamide (Intermediate 45) (50 mg) was added to a freshly prepared sodium ethoxide solution (0.087M, 2 ml), and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 72 hours. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, the organic phase dried (sodium sulphate) and reduced to dryness under vacuum. The residue was purified by HPLC to give, after evaporation of the solvent, N-cyclopropyl-4′-[5-(ethoxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-6-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-3-carboxamide.
