Diethyl (cyanomethyl)phosphonate → HCID 69184035, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of diethyl (cyanomethyl)phosphonate (17.4 mg) in THF (0.5 ml) was added potassium tert-butoxide (11.3 mg) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. A solution of ethyl 3-[1-ethyl-6-formyl-4-(5-methyl-3-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]propanoate (20 mg) in THF (0.5 ml) was added at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography eluting with a mixture of EtOAc and n-hexane (1:1) to give ethyl 3-[6-[(E)-2-cyanovinyl]-1-ethyl-4-(5-methyl-3-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]propanoate (17 mg) as a colorless crystal.
