Trifluoroacetic anhydride → HCID 58478791, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methyl-7H-furo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one N-oxide (122 mg, 0.74 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) is heated at reflux. Trifluoroacetic anhydride (1.5 mL, 10 mmol) is added dropwise and heating is continued for approximately 30 min. The reaction mixture is cooled and concentrated. The residue is treated with methanol (3 mL) and triethylamine (2 mL) and stirred until no starting material remained. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel). The product containing fractions are concentrated to give the title compound (70 mg, 42%).
