ethyl 2-bromo-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate → HCID 66856132, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of commercially available pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-carbothioamide (580 mg, 3.3 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added ethyl 2-bromo-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (1.0 g, 3.7 mmol), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 11 hr. The reaction solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with methanol. The collected filtrate and washing solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was suspended in ethyl acetate (100 mL). The obtained suspension was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL×2), and the collected aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The collected organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=5/95→100/0) to give the title compound (360 mg, 31%) as a yellow solid.
