Reaction Steps

To a solution of potassium phthalimide (72 g, 0.39 mol) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (300 mL) was added 5-(chloromethyl)-3-isopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (50 g, 0.31 mol) gradually with stirring. The reaction mixture was maintained at ambient temperature for 2 h and then poured into cold water (1.2 L). The resulting yellow precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in the air to yield the title compound.
