Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-1-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (535 mg, 1.36 mmol), 3-methoxycarbonylphenylboronic acid (258 mg, 1.43 mmol) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium(II)-dichloride dichlormethane adduct (50 mg, 68 μmol) in acetonitrile (7 mL) and 2 M aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (7 mL) was irradiated in a Personal Chemistry Optimizer at 90° C. for 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was distributed between ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate and the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude was purified by flash silica gel chromatography using a gradient of ethyl acetate and hexanes to afford 3-[1-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]-benzoic acid methyl ester (612 mg, 1.36 mmol, 100% yield) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, d6-DMSO) (8.96 (d, 1H), 8.43 (d, 1H), 8.28 (t, 1H), 8.07 (td, 1H), 7.99 (td, 1H), 7.67-7.69 (m, 2H), 7.51 (ddd, 1H), 7.25 (d, 1H), 7.12 (dt, 1H), 5.92 (s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.73-3.75 (m, 2H), 3.43-3.45 (m, 2H), 3.21 (s, 3H).
