Ethyl Acetate → 4-[2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl]-2-pyrimidinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl]-2-propen-1-one (500 mg, 1.28 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added guanidine sulfate (277 mg, 1.28 mmol), followed by potassium carbonate (195 mg, 1.41 mmol). The resulting solution was heated at reflux for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, ethyl acetate and water were added. The phases were separated and aqueous phase extracted with additional ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl]-2-pyrimidinamine (440 mg, 89%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.98 (d, 1H), 7.80 (d, 1H), 7.56 (dd, 2H), 7.20 (t, 1H), 6.92 (d, 2H), 6.43 (d, 1H), 6.05 (d, 1H), 4.95 (b, 2H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 3.74–3.70 (m, 4H), 2.01–1.98 (m, 4H); MS m/z 387 (M+1).
