Reaction Steps

3-Fluoro-4-iodopicolinonitrile (25.6 g) was dissolved in n-butan-1-ol (250 mL) then hydrazine hydrate (100%, 23.3 mL) was added. The reaction was heated at 105° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered, rinsed with water, and dried for 30 minutes under vacuum to give 7-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-3-amine (25 g) as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 5.35-5.55 (2H, m) 7.73-7.74 (1H, m) 7.939-7.94 (1H, m). MS [M+H] found 261.0.
