PROCESS FOR SYNTHESIZING OXADIAZOLES
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for synthesizing Oxadiazoles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Obtaining a better understanding of the important factors in molecular recognition in conjunction with developing new therapeutic agents has been a major focus of research in the pharmaceutical industry. This process generally begins with screening a large number of compounds against a specific receptor or enzyme. Methods are being developed which permit the synthesis of a large array of compounds, or of mixtures of compounds, that can be screened for their biological activity.
There are however only a few methods that facilitate the quick synthesis of small organic molecules. For this reason, small organic molecules of potential therapeutic interest are still synthesized and evaluated one at a time, thus reducing the number of potential therapeutic agents that could be evaluated for their biological activity.
Oxadiazoles are known to exhibit biological/pharmacological activity. Oxaindoles were first proposed as ester biosteres in conjunction with muscarinic agonist activity by Watjen et al., in J. Med. Chem., 1989, 32, 2281-2291 and Showell et al., in J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 1086-1094. Orlek et al., in 1991, J. Med. Chem.,
1991, 2726-2735, proposed a benzodiazepine receptor partial activity for Oxadiazoles.
Diana et al., in 1991 reported evaluating oxadiazoles for their antirhinovirus activity (J. Med. Chem., 1994, 37, 2421-2436). Oxadiazoles are thus gaining acceptance and attention as organic molecules having potential therapeutic value.
Procedures to synthesize oxadiazoles are known. One such procedure is reported in
Synthetic Communications, 12 (6), 457-461 (1992.
Given the potential therapeutic utility of oxadiazoles, it is important to be able to synthesize oxadiazoles in a rapid fashion. There is thus a need for synthetic methodology which will facilitate synthesis of a single as well as a array of oxadiazole based organic compounds.

Scheme-I General Procedures
STEP- A
The In a reaction vessel was placed an inert solvent mixture of a compound of Formula 3 (1 eq.).

This resulting mixture was then agitated for up to 30 minutes followed by the addition of 1 eq. of an appropriate hydroxy amidine, a compound of Formula 2, as an inert solvent mixture, preferably as a 1,4-dioxane mixture. This reaction mixture was agitated from about 12 to about 36 hours followed by dilution with about 1 eq. of a base, preferably triethyl amine. This diluted mixture was further agitated from about 5 to about 30 minutes and heated to a temperature of about 80°C to about 110°C in an inert atmosphere for about 4 to about 10 hours.
The workup procedure consists of diluting the reaction mixture with an inert solvent, preferably CHC13, followed by dilution with an aqueous carboxylic acid solution, a preferred carboxylic acid solution being an aqueous 10% citric acid solution, to form a two phase mixture. This mixture was filtered through a pre- activated hydromatrix material, pre-activated with a 10% aqueous citric acid solution.

The reaction mixture is then concentrated and the residue is dissolved in a 50% aqueous acetonitπle solution. This solution is maintained at about -80°C for at least about five hours, preferably up to about 18 hours, and then lyophihzed to yield a compound of Formula 5.
STEP-C(i)
The compound of Formula 5 is treated with about 2 to about 5 eq. of a base, preferably a solution of DIPEA in CHCI3, followed by the addition of about 0.8 to about 2 eq. of a compound of Formula 6a, i.e., an acid chloride or sulfonyl chloride, which acts as an acylating agent.

The above reaction mixture is agitated at ambient temperature for up to 3 hours. About 1 to about 5 eq. of a 10% aqueous solution of Na2CO3 then is added and this resulting mixture is agitated for up to 4 hours. The reaction mixture is then filtered through preactivated hydromatrix mateπa] (preactivated with 10% Na2CO3). The hydromatπx mateπal is washed with an inert solvent, preferably CH2C12, and the combined filtrate is diluted with about 1 to about 5 eq. HO (as a 2N solution). The acidified mixture is agitated for about 1 to about 4 hours and filtered through preactivated hydromatπx material (preactivated with 2N HCl). The hydromatrix material is washed with an inert solvent, preferably CH2C12, to remove any trapped reaction product. The combined filtrate is passed through silica and evaporated to yield a residue. This residue is lyophihzed to yield a compound of Formula I.
STEP-C(ii)
The compound of Formula 5 ( 1 eq.) is treated with about 1 to about 3 eq. of base, (e.g., DIPEA) in an inert solvent (e.g., ACN, CHC^ or mixtures thereof)- The
mixture is agitated for up to about 30 minutes and then about 0 8 to about 2 eq of a compound of Formula 6b is added, typically as a solution in an inert solvent, preferably in CHC13 This resulting mixture is stirred for 12-24 hours and then diluted with a 10% aqueous Na2C03 solution The solution is mixed and then filtered through pre-activated hydromatπx mateπal (preactivated with 10% aqueous Na2CO3 solution) The hydromatπx mateπal is πnsed with CHC13 and the combined filtrate is treated with 2N aqueous HCl
The acidified mixture is agitated for about 1 to about 4 hours and filtered through preactivated hydromatπx mateπal (preactivated with 2N HCl) The hydromatπx mateπal is washed with an inert solvent, preferably CH2Q2, to remove any trapped reaction product The combined filtrate is passed through silica and evaporated to yield a residue This lesidue is lyophihzed to yield a compound of Formula I
