Sodium Hydroxide → 5-[5-[[3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]thio]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(1H-indazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (218 mg, 1.00 mmol) and 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.00 mL, 1.00 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was added 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride (0.155 mL, 1.00 mmol) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (tetrahydrofuran) and recrystallized from methanol to give the title compound (279 mg, yield 74%) as colorless crystals.
