1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → tert-butyl 3-(4-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-6(7H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl)phenylpiperidine hydrochloride (5, 0.080 g, 0.28 mmol), 6-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (0.098 g, 0.67 mmol), and diisopropylethylamine (0.15 mL, 0.85 mmol) in DMF (5.3 mL) was added EDCI (0.065 mg, 0.34 mmol) and HOBt (46 mg, 0.34 mmol), and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 24 h. The mixture was diluted with H2O (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (4×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with a saturated brine solution (4×30 mL) and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was chromatographed over silica gel (Isco CombiFlash Rf unit, 12 g Redisep column, 0% to 10% CH3OH in CH2Cl2 with 0.1% NH4OH in CH2Cl2) to provide tert-butyl 3-(4-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-6(7H)-carboxylate (29) as a white solid (66 mg, 47%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.20-12.78 (m, 1H), 7.73-7.59 (m, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.37-7.24 (m, 1H), 4.90-4.60 (m, 2H), 4.53-4.43 (m, 2H), 3.60-3.48 (m, 2H), 3.28-2.98 (m, 2H), 2.85-2.69 (m, 1H), 2.65-2.50 (m, 2H, overlaps with solvent), 1.87-1.56 (m, 4H), 1.42 (s, 9H); ESI MS m/z 497 [M+H]+.
