Ethyl p-methylbenzenesulfonate → Ethyl-(2-phenyl-7-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-yl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.29 g (0.001 mol) 2-phenyl-7-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ylamine in 50 ml dimethylformamide was treated with 0.05 g (0.001 mol) sodiumhydride(55%) for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then 0.22 g (0.001 mol) ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate were added and stirring was continued for 22 hours. Saturated aqueous sodiumbicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. Evaporation of the solvent and chromatography on silicagel with dichloromethane/methanol 96/4 gave 0.37 g(17%) ethyl-(2-phenyl-7-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-yl)-amine as beige crystals. MS m/e (%): 316 (M+H+, 100).
