Sodium hydride → HCID 19612613, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (10.2 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-1-propanol (4.0 g, 25.5 mmol) in THF (40 ml). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature, whereupon a solution of 3-(3-chloro-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1.0 g, 5.1 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was added drop-wise to the reaction mixture. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction was quenched with water then extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase was dried over NaCl/Na2 SO4 then evaporated to yield crude 3-(3-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)propoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)pyridine. A solution of 3-(3-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)propoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1.0 g, 3.2 mmol) and iodomethane (2.3 g, 16.0 mmol) in 60 ml of acetone was refluxed overnight. The solution was evaporated to yield 1.5 g of the quaternized product. Sodium borohydride (0.6g, 16.0 mmol) was carefully added to a solution of the quaternized product (1.5 g) in ethanol (30 ml). The reaction was evaporated and the resulting residue was taken up in water and extracted with methylene chloride (3×100 ml). The organic phase was dried over NaCl/Na2SO4 then evaporated. The residue was purified by radial chromatography eluting with 0.5% NH4OH/5.0% EtOH in CHCl3. The oxalate salt was made to yield 337 mg of the title compound. M.p. 134°-137° C.(Compound 129).
