Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(2,4-Difluoro-benzyl)-3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-6-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (7a) (0.53 g, 1.35 mmol), acetic anhydride (5.5 ml) and pyridine (5.5 ml) was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The mixture was poured on 50 ml water, extracted with 150 ml ethyl acetate, the combined organic layers were washed with 3 times 0.5 N NaOH (50 ml) and once with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtrated and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was silica gel chromatography (eluting with heptane/ethyl acetate) to give 156 mg of 1-[1-(2,4-Difluoro-benzyl)-3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-6-methyl-1,4,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-5-yl]-ethanone (8z).
