Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-{(E)-2-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]vinyl}-8-(piperidin-4-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-{(E)-2-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]vinyl}-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-8-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (361 mg) in methylene chloride (3 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours. A saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was sequentially washed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. Since most of the target compound was present in the aqueous layers, the combined aqueous layers were extracted with methylene chloride three times. The methylene chloride extraction layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (carrier: Chromatorex™ NH; elution solvent: chloroform-methanol system) to obtain 166 mg of the title compound. The property values of the compound are as follows.
