Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-(3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-methoxybenzoate (Intermediate-21, 0.100 g, 0.25 mmol) in dry DMF (3 mL) was added NaH (0.012 g, 0.30 mmol) at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred for 20-30 minutes. Ethyl bromide (0.028 g, 0.25 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was further stirred at 60° C. for 5-6 h. The reaction mass was quenched with water and extracted in ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to afford 0.040 g of the crude product which was further purified by column chromatography in basic alumina eluting with 0.5-1.0% methanol:DCM to afford 0.040 g of pure product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 1.13 (t, 3H), 3.54-3.56 (m, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 7.65 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (m, 4H), 7.84 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H); MS (m/z): 421.95 (M+H)+.
