Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-((1R,2S)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(5-(4-iodophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)propylamino)-2-chloro-3-methylbenzonitrile (2.0 g, 3.3 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was added TBAF (3.7 mL, 3.7 mmol, 1 M solution in THF) at −50° C. After addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to −30° C. gradually (about 1 h), then quenched by adding saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc extracts were washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4. Concentration provided a residue, which was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel to provide the title compound 2-chloro-4-((1R,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(5-(4-iodophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)propylamino)-3-methylbenzonitrile (1.54 g, 94%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ in ppm) 7.83 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.64 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.40 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.63 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.24 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.72 (dd, J=2.6, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.62 (m, 1H), 3.07 (d, J=4.1 Hz, 1H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 1.42 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H).
