Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-[4-(5-{5-chloro-6-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-3-pyridinyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1H-indol-1-yl]propanoate (D62) (1.1 g, 2.418 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane (100 ml) and ethanol (100 ml). Water (50.0 ml) was added followed by 2N sodium hydroxide (2.418 ml, 4.84 mmol). The mixture was stirred at RT for one and a half hours to give a single product. Evaporated off most of the solvent, acidified with glacial acetic acid, added water (50 ml) and extracted product into EtOAc (200 ml). Washed with water (30 ml) and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated off until a white precipitate was formed. The solid was filtered off and washed with ether. Mass of title compound obtained was 780 mg. δH (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) 1.38 (6H, d), 2.81 (2H, t), 4.50 (2H, t), 5.41-5.51 (1H, m), 7.07 (1H, dd), 7.36 (1H, t), 7.59 (1H, d), 7.81 (1H, d), 7.94 (1H, dd), 8.58 (1H, d), 8.96 (1H, d), 12.40 (1H, broad s). MS (ES) C21H1935ClN4O4 requires 426; found 427 (MH+).
