Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-(2′-formyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3-carboxylate (485 mg, 0.98 mmol) and methylamine hydrochloride (135 mg, 2 mmol) were added together in 10 mL of 1:1 MeOH:THF and stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. Zinc chloride (0.5 M in THF, 1 mL, 0.5 mmol) and Sodium cyanoborohydride (63 mg, 1 mmol) were then added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with H2O, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to afford 511 mg of desired product (100%). MS (ES+): 511.4, (M+H)+. 1HNMR (CDCl3) δ 7.50-7.41 (m, 3H), 7.39-7.22 (m, 7H), 6.92 (d, 2H), 4.47 (q, 2H), 4.20 (t, 2H), 3.86 (s, 2H), 3.80 (s, 3H) 3.37 (t, 2H), 1.44 (t, 3H) ppm.
