Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-[4-(5-{3-cyano-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1H-indol-1-yl]butanoate (D65) (1.42 g, 3.09 mmol) in a mixture of dioxan (70 ml) and ethanol (70 ml) was treated with 2N sodium hydroxide (1.86 ml, 3.71 mmol) followed by water (35 ml). The solution was stirred at RT for 4 hours. Evaporated off most of the solvent and filtered off the white solid from the remaining solvent. Washed the solid with water followed by ether and dried to give 580 mg of the title compound. δH (400 MHz, methanol-d4) 1.45 (6H, d), 2.09-2.22 (4H, m), 4.30 (2H, t), 4.92-4.98 (1H, m), 7.15 (1H, d), 7.31 (1H, t), 7.38-7.43 (2H, m), 7.69 (1H, d), 7.95 (1H, d), 8.43-8.46 (2H, m). MS (ES) C24H22N4O4 requires 430; found 431 (MH+).
