Triethylamine → tert-butyl 6-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogous to the preparation of tert-butyl 5-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate, 6-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine (2.0 g, 10.10 mmol) was reacted with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (2.8 g, 13.10 mmol), NEt3 (1.44 g, 2.0 mL, 14 mmol) and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine in acetonitrile (20 mL) for 3 h. Work-up as discussed previously in the preparation of tert-butyl 5-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate provided desired product of tert-butyl 6-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate as a brown solid (2.8 g, 93%).
