Reaction Steps

To a pre-cooled (−55° C.) solution of 4-((1R,2S)-2-(tert-butyldimethyl-silyloxy)-1-(5-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)propylamino)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (900 mg, 1.17 mmol) in THF (120 mL) was added TBAF (2.05 mL, 2.05 mmol, 1 M solution in THF) over 10 min. Upon complete addition the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C. over 1 h, then stirred at 0° C. for a further 30 min and quenched with sat. aq. NH4Cl (150 mL). The resulting mixture was partitioned between H2O (150 mL) and EtOAc (250 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a yellow oil, which was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (30-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to provided the title compound as a colourless oil (420 mg, 66%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6, δ in ppm) 8.20 (dm, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 8.01 (dm, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.73 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=2.5, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 5.23 (dd, J=3.5, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.62 (dq, J=3.5, 6.5 Hz, 1H), 1.40 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3H).
