1-(2-Nitro-6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-5(4H)-yl)ethanone → 1-(2-amino-6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-5(4H)-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 50-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with 209a (492 mg, 2.34 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 234 mg), and methanol (20 mL). The mixture was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas, and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen was charged into the flask. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of CELITE® and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 209b (380 mg, 80%). MS: [M+H]+ 181.1
