Reaction Steps

A 20 mL sealable tube under nitrogen was charged with 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-4-ol (0.150 g, 0.557 mmol; prepared as in from Example 5, Step B), 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (0.0786 g, 0.557 mmol), Cs2CO3 (0.272 g, 0.836 mmol), and DMA (4 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (15 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude was purified by Biotage 40S column eluting with Hexane/EtOAc 3:1, then EtOAc. Obtained the product (185 mg, 79%) as an off white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.39 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 8.32 (d, J=9.4 Hz, 1H), 7.34 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=9.4 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.40 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 2.58 (s, 3H). LRMS (esi pos) m/e 391 (M+1).
