Sodium hydride → 1-benzyloxymethyl-4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (371 mg, 2.42 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (1 mL), and sodium hydride (60%, 116 mg, 2.42 mmol) was added thereto. The resulting mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 30 minutes, and then benzyloxymethyl chloride (0.48 mL, 3.39 mmol) was added thereto. The resulting mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hour and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (80 mL) and saturated brine (20 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (70 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (Fuji Silysia, BW300, 70 g, n-hexane:EtOAc=5:1) to give 1-benzyloxymethyl-4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine as a light-yellow syrup (386 mg, yield: 58%).
