Reaction Steps

3-[3-(2-{[tert-Butyl(diphenyl)silyl]oxy}ethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-6-chloro-2-methylpyridine (210 mg, 0.44 mmol) was taken up in tetrahydrofuran (2.2 ml) and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.44 ml of 1.0 M in THF, 0.44 mmol) was added. The solution was heated to 50° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure, and directly purified via silica gel chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the title compound.
