Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 1-ethyl-7-carboxy-N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-ethyl-4-chloro-7-carboxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (0.9 g, 3.3 mmol), DMSO (9 ml) and cyclohexanemethyl amine (0.86 ml, 6.6 mmol) is heated at 120°-130° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into water, acidified with acetic acid and the solid which forms is collected by filtration, dissolved in 5% NaOH and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×50 ml). The aqueous layer is acidified with acetic acid and the solid that forms is collected by filtration and washed with water. The solid is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 30% methanol/10% acetic acid/60% CH2Cl2 to afford 1-ethyl-7-carboxy-N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-4-amine, as a yellow solid.
