Triacetoxyperiodinane → Methyl 2-(2-(3-bromophenyl)-7-iodo-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)-2-oxoacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-(2-(3-bromophenyl)-7-iodo-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)-2-hydroxyacetate (2.6 g, 5.18 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) was added Dess-Martin Periodinane (2.196 g, 5.18 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution (100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-70% EtOAc/hexane) to afford desired methyl 2-(2-(3-bromophenyl)-7-iodo-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)-2-oxoacetate (1.7 g, 3.40 mmol, 65.6% yield) as off-white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.21 (t, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.96 (dt, J=7.7, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.61-7.58 (m, 1H), 7.39 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.14 (s, 1H), 4.03 (s, 3H), 2.57 (s, 3H). LCMS (M+H)=501.0.
