Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[3-(2-Phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (trans isomer) (0.50 g) was added to a stirred solution of acetic anhydride (0.16 g) in pyridine (5 ml) at room temperature, and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture and washed with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, water and saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (50 g) with a mixture of chloroform and acetone (20:1) 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-acetoxymethylpiperidine (trans isomer) (0.35 g) as an oil.
