Reaction Steps

Sodium hypochlorite (121 mL, 195 mmol) was gradually added to a suspension of 6-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (10 g, 65.1 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. Water and sodium sulfite (24.62 g, 195 mmol) were added, forming a clear solution, and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was concentrated in vacuo to give 3,6-dichloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (11.6 g, 61.7 mmol, 95% yield). MS ESI calc'd. for C6H4Cl2N3 [M+H]+ 188, found 188.
