Sulfuryl chloride → 3-Chloro-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g (37 mmol) sulfuryl chloride was added dropwise to 5.08 g (37 mmol) 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine, dissolved in 30 ml methylene chloride, with ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, then added to saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification was carried out by silica gel column chromatography to ethyl acetate/hexane).
