Methyl iodide → 4-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-5-{2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazino]ethyl}-2-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of PS-BEMP (0.95 g, 2.08 mmol, 2.2 mmol/g) and 4-(cyclohexylmethyl)-5-{2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazino]ethyl}-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (E17; 415 mg, 1.028 mmol) in MeCN (20 mL), methyl iodide (0.13 mL, 2.08 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The resin was filtered, washed with MeOH (25 mL) and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford 560 mg crude yellow glassy solid. This was dissolved in DCM (3 mL) and purified by flash chromatography (Flash Master, Biotage Isolute SI, 20 g column, gradient 0-10% MeOH in DCM over 30 min) to afford 350 mg of a light yellow oil. Further purification by preparative LC-MS afforded 190 mg (44%) of the title compound as a glassy solid.
