Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[[6-(5-ethyl-3-pyridyl)pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-1-yl]methoxy]ethyl-trimethyl-silane (0.2456 mmol; 106.8 mg) and anisole (1.228 mmol; 133 mg; 0.134 ml) in hydrogen chloride, 4.0 M in 1,4-dioxane (20 mmol; 5 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated to afford 6-(5-ethyl-3-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (˜95.9 mg), which was used without purification.
