Methyl iodide → N-(1-{[2-Chloro-4-(methyloxy)phenyl]methyl}-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-{1-[(2-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}-2,6-difluorobenzamide (for a preparation see Example 31)(30 mg, 0.082 mmol) in DMSO (0.5 ml) was added potassium t-butoxide (9.6 mg, 0.086 mmol) and then methyl iodide (6 μl, 0.096 mmol, Aldrich). The solution was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The solution was diluted with methanol (0.5 ml) and purified by MDAP on Sunfire C18 column using Acetonitrile-Water with a Formic acid modifier (Method B). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colourless gum (7.3 mg); LCMS: (System 4) MH+=378, tRET=2.85 min.
