Reaction Steps

To a microwave tube charged with 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (6-bromopyridin-3-ylmethyl)-amide (80 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DMSO (3 mL) was added magnesium bromide ethanesulfinate salt (122 mg, 0.618 mmol) (prepared by treating the Grignard reagent, ethylmagnesium bromide with SO2) followed by copper iodide (210 mg, 1.1 mmol). The mixture was warmed in a microwave at 130° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc) indicating a major new more polar product than starting bromide. The reaction was diluted with first saturated aqueous potassium carbonate (5 mL) and then saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (5×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (3×10 mL), brine (3×10 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, treated with activated carbon, filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated. The solid was dissolved in dichloromethane and purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with EtOAc-dichloromethane (25:75, then 1:1, then 66:34, then 75:25). The material from the column was triturated with ether to afford the title compound as a white solid.
