Sodium hydride → 5-bromo-3-iodo-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (1.31 g, 32.7 mmol, 60% suspension in mineral oil) was added portionwise to a cold (0° C.) solution of 5-bromo-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (5.3 g, 16.4 mmol) in dry DMF (40 mL) The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes before 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride (4.91 mL, 27.8 mmol) was added dropwise via a syringe. The cold bath was removed, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was placed in an ice bath, diluted with ethyl acetate (400 mL) and carefully quenched with water (50 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography, eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (20:1) to give 5-bromo-3-iodo-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (6.59 g, 89%) as a solid.
