Acetic Anhydride → Efppea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(2-ethyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-1-yl)ethanamine (110 mg, 0.476 mmol) and triethylamine (133 μL, 0.954 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added acetic anhydride (90.0 μL, 0.952 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (50 μL) was added to the reaction solution, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=90/10→100/0) and recrystallization (ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether) to give the title compound (67.8 mg, yield 52%).
