Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[4-Amino-4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (55 mg, 0.13 mmol) was suspended in 2M potassium hydroxide (1.5 mL) and irradiated in a microwave reactor (250 W) for 2 hours at 120° C. After cooling, water (2 mL) was added and the solids formed were collected by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×4 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). The extracts were evaporated and the resulting yellow solids were combined with the previous material and dissolved in acetone (10 mL) and n-hexanes (2 mL). The solvents were concentrated until precipitation occurred. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with n-hexanes to give 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-4-yl)-piperidin-4-ylamine as a light yellow powder (26 mg, 57%). LC-MS (LCT2) m/z 342 [M+H+], Rt 2.07 min.
