Methyl iodide → HCID 11623273, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-ynyl)benzo[d]oxazol-4-ol (20 mg, 76 mmol, Example 70), methyl iodide (57 μL, 114 μmol) and K2CO3 (18 mg, 130 μmol) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred under reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and was dissolved in DCM. The organic phase was washed with water, HCl 1N, saturated solution of NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH 99:1) to yield 10 mg (36 μmol, 47%) of 4-methoxy-2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-ynyl)benzo[d]oxazole as a brown solid.
