Methanesulfonic Acid → 6-Chloro-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

At r.t. to a suspension of 6-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (0.5 g, 3 mmol) (Frontier Cat. No. Z13659) in methylene chloride (3 mL) and THF (1 mL) was added methanesulfonic acid (42 μL, 0.65 mmol), followed by dihydropyran (0.89 mL, 9.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h., and then at 50° C. overnight. After cooling the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate in hexanes (0-50%) to afford the desired product (0.8 g). LCMS (M+H)+=238.0; LCMS (M-84+H)+=154.0/156.0.
