Pyrazol-3-ylamine → 4,6-Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-2H-pyrazole (60 mg, 71.8 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) and 1 drop of 37% HCl, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)vinyl 4-fluorobenzoate (0.22 g, 65.0 mmol, obtained in reference example 4) was added under argon atmosphere. This was heated to reflux for 3 days. The mixture was diluted with CHCl3 and MeOH. It was washed with saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous phase was extracted with CHCl3 (×2). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness. The crude product obtained was purified by chromatography on silica gel using hexane-EtOAc mixtures of increasing polarity as eluent, to afford 58 mg of the desired product in a solid white form (yield: 23%).
