Reaction Steps

1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (5.07 g, 20.34 mmol) and phosphorus oxychloride (28.4 ml, 305 mmol) were heated at 100° C. for 16 hours. The contents were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was added to ice water followed by 1N NaOH until basic (pH>10). After stirring for 15 minutes, the mixture was adjusted to pH 3-4 by addition of 1N HCl. The contents were extracted with EtOAc, then washed with water, brine and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by reverse phase HPLC (40-70% ACN/H2O, 0.1% TFA). The product was collected as a solid, 0.50 g (9%). LCMS E-S (M+H)=268.3 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.73 (s, 9H), 2.56 (s, 3H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 14.17 (br. s., 1H).
