Sodium ethoxide → HCID 178440268, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 347 mg (1.0 mmol) of 5-amino-3-isopropyl-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)pyrazole-4-carboxamide in 6 mL of absolute ethanol was added 777 mg (4.0 mmol) of ethyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenylacetate followed by 2.0 mL (5.33 mmol) of 2.66 M sodium ethoxide in ethanol. The solution was stirred 18 h at reflux, and the heating mantle was then removed. The reaction was treated with 25 mL of 5% aq. HOAc, cooled to ambient temperature, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed twice with water and once with brine, dried (MgSO4), and chromatographed on silica gel (elution with 1:1 EtOAc-hexanes) to give, after removal of solvent, 320 mg (67%) of 1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-isopropyl-6-(4-(hydroxymethyl)benzyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one as a white, amorphous solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d 11.46(br. s, 1H); 7.54(s, 2H); 7.42(d, 2H, J=8.1 Hz); 7.31(d, 2H, J=8.5 Hz); 4.66(s, 2H); 4.00(s, 2H); 3.47(septet, 1H, J=7.0 Hz); 1.48(d, 6H, J=7.0 Hz).
