N-Iodosuccinimide → 2-Chloro-3-iodopyrazolo[1,5-A]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-iodosuccinimide (1.06 g, 4.74 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-chloro-pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyridine (27-2; 0.6 g, 3.95 mmol) in acetonitrile (18.0 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel flash chromatography (5-10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) provided the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.36-8.34 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.40-7.37 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.26-7.23 (m, 1 H), 6.84-6.81 (m, 1 H). MS (M+1): 279.0.
