Reaction Steps

N-Hydroxy-N′-(5-iodo-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamidine (example 39, step 3) (2.8 g, 8.77 mmol) was suspended in 15 ml of toluene and pyridine (2.8 ml, 35.1 mmol, 4 equiv.). The mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (6.7 g, 35.1 mmol, 4 equiv.) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0-5° C. and 4 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with saturated NaHCO3 solution and two times with a small volume of dichloromethane. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography by directly loading the dichloromethane layers onto a 20 g silica gel column and eluting with heptane:ethyl acetate 100:0→0:100. The desired 2-tert-butyl-6-iodo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (2 g, 76% yield) was obtained as a light yellow oil, MS: m/e=302.1 (M+H+).
