Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate → 6-(2,4-Difluorophenoxy)-3-iodo-4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-3-iodo-4-methyl-1,4-dihydro-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one (12 mg, 0.0298 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added BOC2O (16 mg, 2.5 eq) and DMAP (catalytic). The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 30 minutes, cooled to room temperature, and diluted with ethyl acetate (35 mL) and water (25 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed successively with water (2×25 mL), 0.5 N HCl (2×20 mL) and brine (1×25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the title compound as a white powder (18 mg, (M+H)+=504).
