A mixture of 1-methyl-5-(2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-6-ylcarbamoyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (112 mg, 309 μmol), pyrrolidine (220 mg, 256 μl, 3.09 mmol), propylphosphonic anhydride in ethyl acetate 50% (492 mg, 455 μl, 773 μmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (120 mg, 158 μl, 927 μmol) in tetrahydrofuran (7.00 ml) was refluxed for 18 hours. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was triturated with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate. The precipitated solid was filtered off, washed with water and dried in vacuo, affording 2-methyl-4-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-6-yl)-amide (45 mg, 35%) as brown solid. Mp.: 210° C. MS: m/z=416.1 (M+H+).
