1,2-Dimethoxyethane → N4-cyclopropylmethyl-N4-(2-ethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-4-pyrancarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N4-(2-ethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-4-pyrancarboxamide (272 g, 915 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (144 g, 1.28 mol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1750 mL) was heated and stirred at an external temperature of 40° C. (Bromomethyl)cyclopropane (161 g, 1.19 mol) was then added dropwise to the reaction mixture keeping the internal temperature below 50° C. After heating and stirring for 4 hours, water (1250 mL) and toluene (3750 mL) were added to the reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was removed, and then the organic extract was washed with 10% brine (1250 mL) and water (1250 mL×2 times) in that order, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 277 g of the title compound as a brown oil (92.6% yield).
