Hydrochloric Acid → 6-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Amino-6-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(methylamino)-picolinonitrile (11 g) was dissolved in dioxane (20 ml), and water (20 ml). 1M HCl (16.39 ml) was added. Sodium nitrite (2.111 g) in water (2 mL) was added and reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. Product crashed out and was filtered, washed with water, ether and dried in oven to give 6-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (5.7 g) as a pale brown solid. 1H NMR (MeOH) δ: 8.55 (s, 1H), 8.43 (m, 2H), 7.36 (d, 1H), 4.45 (s, 3H), 4.25 (t, 2H), 3.95 (t, 2H). MS m/z 364 (M+H).
