Participants

Reaction Steps

47 g of 1-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.2 mol) are saponified by means of 400 ml of aqueous sodium hydroxide (2.5 N) by refluxing the mixture for 11/2 hours. After cooling of the filtered solution and diluting with 300 ml of water, it is acidified with glacial acetic acid. The precipitated 1-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid is filtered under suction, washed with water and dried at 120°. Yield 37 g (89%), recrystallization from glacial acetic acid, and has a melting point of 201°-202°.
