Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5,8-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine (19.5 g, 0.10 mol) and 2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride (27.5 g, 0.10 mol) were combined in acetonitrile (35 mL). To this was added 3,5-lutidine (32 g, 0.30 mol), followed by DMSO (0.23 g, 0.0030 mol). A slight exotherm was noted (to about 30° C.) in the initial hours as the reaction slurry was stirred at ambient conditions for 17 hours. The mixture was then warmed to 40° C. and treated with 2 N HCl (140 mL). The new slurry was stirred while being allowed to cool to room temperature over one hour. The solids were isolated by filtration, washed with water, and dried under vacuum to afford 38 g of product as a solid assaying at 97 wt % (85% yield).
