Reaction Steps

SnCl2.2H2O (1.3 g, 5.7 mmol) was added to 5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (0.19 g, 0.82 mmol) in ethyl acetate (20 mL). The resulting solution was heated to reflux for 3 hours. The cooled yellow solution was treated with dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The resulting slurry was filtered through celite, and the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to yield 3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-amine (0.17 g, 99%) as a film.
