Ethyl isocyanate → trans-N-ethyl-N'-{[2-(2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-4-yl)cyclopropyl]methyl}urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of trans-1-[2-(2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-4-yl)cyclopropyl]methanamine (100 mg, 0.497 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added isocyanatoethane (43.3 μL, 0.547 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 10 min. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methanol/ethyl acetate=3/97→15/85) and recrystallization (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (52.0 mg, yield 38%).
