Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate (184 μL, 1.239 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-amino-4-(4-cyclopropylnaphthalen-1-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (0.35 g, 1.239 mmol) in DMF (2.5 mL) and heated at 60° C. for 20 hours after which time a few crystals of potassium iodide were added and the mixture heated at 70° C. for a further 24 h. The temperature was then increased to 90° C. and the mixture heated for an additional 6 days. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, concentrated and dissolved in dichloromethane. Triethylamine and water were added and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×) and the combined organic extracts dried over NaSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to afford ethyl 2-(5-amino-4-(4-cyclopropylnaphthalen-1-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)-2-methylpropanoate as a tan solid (0.134 g, 27%).
