Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-iodo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (5.0 g, 20 mmol; prepared from 2-amino-5-iodopyridine (Aldrich-Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.) according to WO 01/62756) in anhydrous THF (300 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added a solution of isopropylmagnesium bromide in THF (1 M, 31 mL, 31 mmol). The resulting milky suspension was stirred at 0° C. After an hour, DMF (6 mL, 50 mmol) was added to the suspension at 0° C. and the suspension was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 4 additional hours. 100 mL of water was then added at room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The resulting mixture was extracted with diethylether and washed with saturated Na2CO3. The extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified on a short silica gel cake with EtOAc to give [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-6-carbaldehyde as a light yellow solid (3 g, 100%). ESP+ m/e 148.0. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz), δ 10.03 (s, 1H), 9.10 (s, 1H), 8.49 (s, 1H), 8.02 (d, 1H), 7.82 (d, 1H).
