Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 86616879, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To dichloromethane (10 mL) at −78° C. was added dimethylsulfoxide (0.37 mL, 5.17 mmol) and oxalyl chloride (0.33 mL, 3.79 mmol). After several minutes, a solution of 2-[8-(ethoxymethyl)-5,6-dimethyl-7H-imidazo[4,5-c]tetraazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl]ethanol (prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,797,718, 1.00 g, 3.44 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) was added dropwise followed by triethylamine (1.5 mL, 10.3 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and more dichloromethane (80 mL) was added. The solution was transferred to a separatory funnel and washed with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate, water, and brine. The aqueous layers were combined and back-extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the product [8-(ethoxymethyl)-5,6-dimethyl-7H-imidazo[4,5-c]tetraazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl]acetaldehyde as a tan solid (0.86 g).
