Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-4-((1R,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)propylamino)-3-methylbenzonitrile (example 8) (257 mg, 0.67 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) was added a solution of sodium methoxide (36 mg, 0.67 mmol) in THF (1.5 mL) at room temperature. After 20 minutes sulfur trioxide-pyridine (85 mg, 0.53 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 40 minutes, then partitioned between H2O (25 mL) and Et2O (20 mL). The aqueous layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a colourless solid (177 mg, 68%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO, δ in ppm) 7.88 (dm, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.56 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (dm, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.80 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 5.86 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.49 (d, J=6.1 Hz, 1H), 5.08 (dd, J=4.3, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.40 (tq, J=3.9, 5.9 Hz, 1H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 1.25 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3H).
