Reaction Steps

400 mg (0.87 mmol) of N-tert-butyl-4-[1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyridin-2-amine were dissolved in 15 ml of dioxane and 4 ml of water and 227 mg (3.48 mmol) of metallic zinc and 461 (8.7 mmol) of ammonium chloride were added. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 4 hours, then filtered through a celite pad. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue partitioned between dichloromethane and aqueous sodium hydrogenocarbonate. The organic phase was then dried and evaporated and the residue purified by flash-chromatography on a silica gel column (CH2Cl2-CH3COCH3 from 9/1 to 7/3), giving 180 mg (48%) of the title compound.
