Triethyl orthoacetate → 3-Bromo-5-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)furo[3,2-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromofuro[3,2-b]pyridine-5-carbohydrazide (0.16 g, 0.64 mmol) and triethyl orthoacetate (0.26 mL, 1.40 mmol) in n-butanol (3 mL) was heated under reflux for 1 hr. 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.096 mL, 0.64 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux overnight. After cooling, the precipitate was collected by filtration, purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1), and recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate to give the title compound (41 mg, yield 23%) as colorless crystals.
