Sodium hydride → 3-(Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrid-4-yloxy)-1,2-epoxypropane

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (containing 60% of oil, 270 mg, 4.5 mmole) was washed with anhydrous petroleum ether, and was admixed, under atmosphere of argon gas, with distilled DMF (15 ml) and 4-hydroxypyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (5) (402 mg, 3.0 mmole), followed by stirring for 30 min to give a light pink suspension. Subsequently, glycidyl tosylate (821 mg, 3.6 mmole) was added to the suspension, followed by stirring overnight under atmosphere of argon gas to obtain a red-yellow suspension. The reaction mixture was neutralized by adding about 10 ml of saturated aqueous NH4Cl, followed by addition of water (20 ml) and extraction with ether. The extract was washed with water, dried and freed of the solvent by distillation, and the residue was purified on a column of silica gel (7734, chloroform).
