Methyl iodide → 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-6-methyl-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-benzylcarbamoyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridin-6-ium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid 3-trifluoromethyl-benzylamide (0.060 g, 0.14 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added iodomethane (0.50 mL, 4.0 mmol). The reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc-hexanes 4:6). After 11 days, the reaction afforded a white precipitate. The mixture was concentrated under a stream of nitrogen and the residue triturated with ether with a few drops of methanol and then hexanes was added. The solid was collected by filtration to afford the title compound as a yellow solid.
