Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(benzyloxy)-1-(1-(2,2-Dimethoxyethyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (4.96 g, 12.2 mmol) and ammonium formate (1.53 g, 24.4 mmol) in CH3OH was stirred for 10 min. Pd/C (5.5 g) was added under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 h and then allowed to cool. The mixture was filtered through a layer of Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was triturated with MeOH, concentrated to dryness, triturated with EtOAc, sonicated for 20 min and then concentrated to give the title compound (3.62 g, 95%) as a yellow/white solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) 8.06 (s, 1H), 7.68 (s, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (d, 1H, overlapping with solvent peak), 6.12 (s, 1H), 6.05 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 4.78 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 4.50 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 3.38 (s, 6H).
