Dimethylformamide → tert-butyl 3-(4-(3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-5(4H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine hydrochloride (28, 500 mg, 1.66 mmol), 5-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1Hpyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (443 mg, 1.66 mmol), and diisopropylethylamine (36 μL, 2.04 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added HBTU (1.10 g, 2.49 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. the reaction was diluted in H2O (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×75 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (40 g Redisep column, 0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford tert-butyl 3-(4-(3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-5(4H)-carboxylate (61) as a white solid (200 mg, 23%).
