Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 178434399, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

36 g (350 mmol) of 3-(dimethylamino)propan-1-ol and 12 g (21.4 mmol) of potassium hydroxide are added to 12 g (30 mmol) of Z-4-(2-chloro-2-phenylvinyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbonitrile dissolved in 100 ml of dimethylsulfoxide and 36 ml of water. The reaction mixture is carried at 120° C. for 3 hours. The reaction medium is cooled to room temperature and then poured over crushed ice. The product is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated. The residue is purified immediately by silica gel chromatography (eluent: 95:5 dichloromethane/methanol). The product is then dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane. The reaction medium is cooled in an ice bath before 36 ml (376.5 mmol) of boron tribromide is added slowly. The reaction medium is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and then added slowly to crushed ice. The solid is filtered, rinsed with water, dried and then purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: 5:5 cyclohexane/ethyl acetate) to yield 6 g (54%) of 6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methyl-4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbonitrile in the form of a yellow solid.
