Ethyl 7-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-B]pyridine-6-carboxylate → ethyl 7-n-butylamino-1H-pyrazolo [4,3-b]pyridine-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 7-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-6-carboxylate (3.5 g, 15.5 mmol) was dissolved in n-butylamine (25 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Excess butylamine was removed in vacuo and the residual solid was washed well with water, and recrystallised from ethyl acetate to give ethyl 7-n-butylamino-1H-pyrazolo [4,3-b]pyridine-6-carboxylate (2.75 g, 67%), m.p. 164°-170° C.
