Methyl iodide → 1-Benzyl-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine-5-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 mg of 1-benzyl-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine-5-carboxylic acid was dissolved in 5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, added with 10 mg of potassium carbonate and 20 μl methyl iodide, and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was extracted and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:10), to afford 20 mg the title compound as a colorless powder.
