Procedure

A stirred solution of 3-cyclopropyl-5-formylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (60 mmol) and triethylamine (176 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 ml) was charged dropwise with POCl3 (60 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was then left for 30 minutes with stirring at 0° C., whereafter a solution of Na2CO3 (60 mmol) in H2O (50 ml) was added. The mixture was heated to room temperature, whereafter the organic phase was separated, dried and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was treated with ether, decanted and the solution was evaporated to give the title compound as an oil. The oil was processed without any further purification. The compound was characterized by its IR absorbtion band at 2160 cm-1. 3-ethyl-5-isocyanomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole was prepared from 3-ethyl-5-formylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a similar manner. IR: cm-1 : 2170.
