Methyl iodide → 6-(2,4-Difluorophenoxy)-4-methyl-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1,4-dihydro-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 6-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1,4-dihydro-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one (98 mg, 0.249 mmol) in dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, Aldrich) (15 mg, 1.5 eq) and the resulting mixture was stirred at for 30 minutes, after which methyl iodide (25 μL, 1.5 eq) was added and the mixture was stirred additional 1 hour with warming from 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (35 mL) and water (25 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with water (2×25 mL) and brine (1×25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the title compound as a tan powder (118 mg, (M+H)+=408).
