Methanol → 3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-6-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl) 1,9-dimethyl-1,9-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]indol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

450 mg (0.86 mmol) of compound from Example 59, 5-[3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,9-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,9-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]indol-6-yl]-1-ethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, are dissolved in 10 ml of absolute ethanol and 42 mg (1.12 mmol) of NaBH4 are added. The mixture is refluxed overnight. The reaction medium is allowed to return to ambient temperature, CH2Cl2 and MeOH are added, and the product is adsorbed onto silica. Purification is carried out on a silica column, elution being carried our with EtOAc, and then with a 95/05 EtOAc/MeOH mixture. The oil obtained is triturated in ether.
