Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-7-methyl-8-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-one (Int. 15, 55 mg, 0.148 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added cesium carbonate (58 mg, 0.177 mmol) followed by 4-(methylsulfonyl)benzyl bromide (40 mg, 0.163 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at RT for 20 hrs. Further amounts of cesium carbonate (25 mg) and 4-(methylsulfonyl)benzyl bromide (20 mg) were added and stirring was continued for 2 hrs. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×25 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 0-100% EtOAc in cyclohexane to give the title compound as a yellow solid (49 mg).
