Triethylamine → Methyl 2-(4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 1,6-diaminopyridin-1-ium-3-carboxylate; 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate (8 g, 21.68 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) is added 4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-benzaldehyde (3.25 g, 21.68 mmol) and triethylamine (8.77 mL, 65.04 mmol) at 0° C. and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic extracts are washed with water (2×100 mL), saturated ammonium chloride solution (50 mL), brine solution (50 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The crude material is purified by silica gel chromatography (combiflash 40 g redisep Rf column) and is eluted with 40-60% EtOAc in hexane to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (1.2 g, 18%). LCMS m/z 298 [M+H]+.
