Reaction Steps

In a volumetric flask 4,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (0.20 g, 0.5 mmol, obtained in example 1), KOH (0.03 g, 0.5 mmol), 2-bromo-1,1-diethoxyethane (0.10 g, 0.5 mmol) and 1-methoxy-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane (2 mL) were introduced under argon atmosphere. The mixture was heated to 100° C. and stirred at this temperature overnight. It was allowed to cool and a mixture of H2O-EtOAc was added. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were 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 139 mg of 2-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-4,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (yield: 53%) and 60 mg of 1-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-4,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (yield: 24%).
