Reaction Steps

Methylmagnesium bromide (12% THF solution, 13 mL) was added to a mixture of ethyl 8-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-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-8-carboxylate (1.60 g) in THF (16 mL) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hr, and methylmagnesium bromide (12% THF solution, 13 mL) was added under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hr, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and water were added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, ethyl acetate/hexane), and further recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound (121 mg).
