Participants

Reaction Steps

6.8 g. of ethyl-1-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate (J. Het. Chem., supra) (0.029 mol.) and 100 ml. of ammonia in dimethylformamide (48 g. NH3 /1; cooled at 4°) are filled into a steel autoclave. The mixture is heated to 150° for 6 hours. After cooling, the solution is evaporated to dryness and the residue is treated with ether. The 1-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide is used in the next step without further purification. A sample, recrystallized from ethanol, melts at 267°-268° (dec.), yield 3.6 g. (60%).
