Sodium hydride → 2,2-Dimethyl-propionic acid 5-bromo-3-(4-dimethylamino-benzyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-1-ylmethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

[4-(5-Bromo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-dimethyl-amine (500 mg, 1.51 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was stirred at room temperature. Sodium hydride (60%, 121 mg, 3.03 mmol) was added to the mixture, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Chloromethyl pivalate (0.44 ml, 3.05 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at room temperature. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (0 to 100% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 517 mg (77%) of 2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid 5-bromo-3-(4-dimethylamino-benzyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-1-ylmethyl ester. MS m/z 445.2, 447.2 (M+H+).
