Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl (2Z)-2-benzoyl-3-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)acrylate (2.018 g) and 5-amino-1-ethylpyrazole (710 mg) in N-methylpyrrolidone (15 ml) was heated at 140° C. for 3.5 hours. Another 5-amino-1-ethylpyrazole (200 mg) was added and the mixture was heated at 140° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (1.45 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (×4), brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixture of EtOAc and n-hexane (1:7) to give ethyl 4-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)-1-ethyl-6-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate (2.024 g) as a brown oil.
