Reaction Steps

3-Ethyl-5-[1-(4[(E)-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)methylidene]aminophenyl)-4-piperidyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one (9c, 0.41 g, 1 mmol) on reduction with sodiumcyano borohydride (0.12 g, 2 mmol) in the presence of catalytic amount of CH3COOH (3 drops) in methanol at 0° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture is neutralized with sodium bi carbonate and extracted into chloroform. The crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate-hexane (8:2) as eluant to obtain product 3-ethyl-5-[1-(4-[(5-nitro-2-furyl)methyl]aminophenyl)-4-piperidyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one (10c, 359 mg, 87%).
