Potassium Carbonate → 8-bromo-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8-bromo-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one (1.00 g, 3.08 mmol) in DMF (12 mL) at room temperature under argon was added 3-(bromomethyl)-2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (861 mg, 3.39 mmol), followed by K2CO3 (1278 mg, 9.24 mmol). The resulting suspension was warmed to 55° C. for 8 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, most of the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water (˜20 mL) and shaken vigorously. A solid formed and was filtered, washed with water and air-dried. The crude product was purified by automated silica gel chromatography (eluted with EtOAc/hexanes) to obtain 1.19 g (71% yield) of title compound as a tan amorphous solid. HPLC/MS: retention time=3.90 min, [M+H]+=497.
