Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-cyano-5-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (25 mg, 0.095 mmol), potassium carbonate (26 mg, 0.19 mmol) and iodoethane (11 μL, 0.14 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was heated in a sealed vial at 70° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was cooled, diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water (3×) and saturated brine, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography of the residue using hexanes/ethyl acetate/dichlrormethane (3.5:0.5:4) followed by trituration with diethyl ether afforded 11 mg (39%) of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-cyano-5-ethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole: 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ (ppm): 8.86 (d, 1H), 8.23 (d, 1H), 8.14 (s, 1H), 7.99 (s, 1H), 7.91 (m, 1H), 7.49 (m, 1H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 4.17 (q, 2H), 1.49 (t, 3H).
