Sodium Chloride → 3-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60%, 43.6 mg) was added to a mixture of 3-(2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (210 mg), methyl acrylate (93.8 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (2.1 ml) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. A saturated solution of sodium chloride (20 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml×2). The combined extract was washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride (20 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of chloroform and ethyl acetate (10:1) to give 3-[1-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (210.7 mg) as an oil.
