Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 2-phenylfuro[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-aminofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium 2,4-dinitrobenzenolate (1.00 g, 3.14 mmol) and potassium carbonate (608 mg, 4.40 mmol) in dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added methyl 3-phenylpropiolate (509 μL, 3.45 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=10/90→40/60) to give the title compound (467 mg, yield 51%).
