Sodium Hydroxide → 1,2-dimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A modification of the method described in Example 13 was used to reduce 1,2-dimethyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine (1.0 g, 4.7 mmol), prepared as described in Example 5. During the work-up procedure, the residue from the filtrate was suspended in 6 M hydrochloric acid and stirred for 30 minutes. The suspension was adjusted to pH 13 with the addition of 50% sodium hydroxide. The resulting solid was isolated by filtration, washed with water, air-dried, and recrystallized from acetonitrile to provide 0.74 g of 1,2-dimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine as an off-white solid, mp 258-259° C.
