2-Nitro-5-(oxetan-3-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine → 5-(Oxetan-3-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 50-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with 155a (0.20 g, 0.89 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 89 mg), and methanol (10 mL). The mixture was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas, and stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen was charged into the bottle. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of CELITE® and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 155b (140 mg, 81%). MS: [M+H]+ 195.1
