Reaction Steps

1-[3-(2-Phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (trans isomer) (0.30 g) was added to a stirred solution of tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) and sodium hydride (62.8%, 0.04 g) with ice-cooling. After 30 minutes, a solution of methyl iodide (0.14 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) was added to that stirred solution at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature, then poured into water (20 ml), extracted with chloroform (20 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (20 g) with chloroform as an eluent. The fractions containing the objective compound were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give 1-[3-(2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]-2-methoxymethylpiperidine (trans isomer) (0.30 g) as an oil.
