Tetrahydrofuran → 3-{8-(3,4-Difluorophenoxy)-3-[3-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5-yl)phenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-8-yl}pentan-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, ethylmagnesium bromide (1M THF solution, 11.8 mL) was added to a suspension of ethyl 8-(3,4-difluorophenoxy)-3-[3-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5-yl)phenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-8-carboxylate (1200 mg) in THF (12 mL) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hr, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, methanol/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (230 mg).
