Reaction Steps

3-(4-Methylphenylthiomethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1.65 g, 0.008 mol) was dissolved in methanol (25 ml). AT 0° and with stirring, sodium borohydride (0.91 g, 0.024 mol) was added in portions over 30 min. The mixture was then stirred at 0° overnight and water then added to give a solid which on recrystallisation from from isopropanol gave 4.5-dihydro-3-(4-methylphenylthiomethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole, m.p. 85°.
