Ammonium formate → 4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-8-methyl-2-(3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound 87c (885 mg, 1.99 mmol), ammonium formate (629 mg, 9.98 mmol), and Pd/C (89 mg, 10% w) in EtOH (16 mL) was refluxed for 1 hr. The reaction was then filtered though celite and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with DCM and washed with water. Organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified by chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/EtOAc) to yield compound 88c as a white solid in 93% yield.
