Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 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 (5.0 g) in DMF (50 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, 576 mg) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Iodomethane (978 μL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (3.40 g).
