Iodoethane → 4-ethyl-6-{[3-fluoro-2'-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl}-7-propyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3′-fluoro-4′-[(5-oxo-7-propyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (1 g), iodoethane (0.25 mL), potassium carbonate (0.71 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 5% aqueous potassium hydrogensulfate solution and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained by silica gel column chromatography was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (5 mL), and the mixture was added to a mixture of hydroxylammonium chloride (0.4 g), sodium hydrogen carbonate (0.65 g) and dimethyl sulfoxide (5 mL), which had been stirred in advance at 40° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 hr, and diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with water and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). N,N′-Carbonyldiimidazole (0.075 g) and then 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.063 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated aqueous potassium hydrogensulfate solution and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as colorless crystals (0.1 g, 8%).
