Dimethylformamide → Methyl 3-(3-(4-methyl-3-(6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamido)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring suspension of 6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (24a) (50 mg, 0.217 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (2 mL) at 0° C. under Argon was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (19 μL, 0.228 mmol). Then, a drop of anhydrous DMF was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The solvent was concentrated and the crude solid was added portion-wise to a stirring solution of methyl 3-(3-(3-amino-4-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (31) (47 mg, 0.163 mmol) in anhydrous pyridine (1 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature under Argon for 10 minutes and quenched with water. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC to yield methyl 3-(3-(4-methyl-3-(6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamido)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (F52). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 10.27 (s, 1H), 9.90-9.85 (m, 1H), 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.08 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.02-7.99 (m, 1H), 7.86 (dd, J=2.0, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (dd, J=2.0, 9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.37-4.19 (m, 5H), 3.59 (s, 3H), 2.37 (s, 3H).
