Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-ylacetate (84 mg, 0.439 mmol) in acetonitrile (3 mL) was added DHP (37 mg, 0.439 mmol) and DDQ (10 mg, 0.044 mmol). This mixture was heated to 75° C. for 20 minutes. After this time, additional DHP (37 μL, 0.44 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture heated to 85° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (10 mL) and ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. This residue was purified by chromatography using RediSep column (12 g) and eluting with gradient of 0-20% EtOAc/CH2Cl2. The desired fractions were combined and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound. LRMS (M+1): 276.1.
