1-(6-Fluoro-2-pyridyl)-6-(5-isopropenyl-3-pyridyl)pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine → 1-(6-Fluoro-2-pyridyl)-6-(5-isopropyl-3-pyridyl)pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the aforesaid 1-(6-fluoro-2-pyridyl)-6-(5-isopropenyl-3-pyridyl)pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine in Ethanol (50 mL) in a 250 mL round bottom flask was added Pearlman's catalyst (0.3523 mmol; 247.4 mg). The flask was vacuumed and connected with a balloon of Hydrogen. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified on silica eluted with 0 to 5% MeOH in DCM to afford 1-(6-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-6-(5-isopropylpyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (479.2 mg, 82%).
