Triethylamine → (R)-1-[4-(4-Oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethyl butyrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-1-(4-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-ethyl butyrate (prepared according to the method of Preparation Seven, 6.8 g, 29.9 mmol) and triethylamine (12.5 mL, 89.6 mmol) in isopropanol (100 mL) was added 2-(1-piperazinyl)oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (prepared according to the method of Example 9, Step A, 6.1 g, 29.9 mmol). This mixture was stirred at reflux overnight, cooled to room temperature, and evaporated. The residue was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with chloroform (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated, and purified by flash column chromatography (1.5→2% methanol/chloroform) to give 11.1 g (94%) of the title compound of Example 9, Step B as a yellow oil which solidified upon standing.
