Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10 g (65.75 mmol) of 5-fluoro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-amine were initially charged in THF (329 ml), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. 16.65 ml (131.46 mmol) of boron trifluoride diethyl ether complex were then added gradually. The reaction mixture was cooled further to −10° C. A solution of 10.01 g (85.45 mmol) of isopentyl nitrite in THF (24.39 ml) was then added gradually, and the mixture was stirred for a further 30 min. The mixture was diluted with cold diethyl ether (329 ml) and the resulting solid was filtered off. The diazonium salt thus prepared was added in portions to a solution at 0° C. of 12.81 g (85.45 mmol) of sodium iodide in acetone (329 ml), and the mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice-water (1.8 l) and extracted twice with ethyl acetate (487 ml each time). The collected organic phases were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (244 ml), dried, filtered and concentrated. This gave 12.1 g (86% purity, 60% of theory) of the desired compound in solid form. The crude product was converted without further purification.
