4-(Bromomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane → N-(1-((1-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methyl)-3-ethyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(1-((1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methyl)-3-ethyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (40 mg, 0.104 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (0.5 mL) was added 4-(bromomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (20.2 mg, 0.104 mmol) and cesium hydroxide hydrate (17.4 mg, 0.104 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 16 hours at ambient temperature, filtered, washing with methanol and ethyl acetate, and concentrated under a stream of nitrogen. The resulting material was purified using preparative thin layer chromatography on silica, eluting with 10% methanol in dichloromethane. The isolated product (22.5 mg) was a 7:3 mixture of two regioisomers, N-(1-((1-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methyl)-3-ethyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide and N-(1-((1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methyl)-3-ethyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide. This material was continued to the next step as a mixture.
