Dimethylformamide → Ethyl 8-[(3,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-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

Participants

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 (1000 mg) in DMF (15 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, 115 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr in the air. Sodium hydride (60%, 115 mg) and 4-(bromomethyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene (812 mg) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1000 mg).
