Water → 1-benzyl-3-iodo-4-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-benzyl-4-chloro-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (3.7 g) in methanol (40 mL) was added sodium methoxide methanol solution (1.5 M, 27 mL) at room temperature, and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was added to water at room temperature, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was washed with petroleum ether to give the title compound (3.6 g).
