Formaldehyde → {8-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-[3-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5-yl)phenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-8-yl}methanol

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 8-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-[3-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5-yl)phenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine (300 mg) in DMF (5 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, 31.6 mg) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr under a nitrogen atmosphere. Paraformaldehyde (39.6 mg) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methanol/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (42.5 mg).
