Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 178434440, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-Chloropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (III) (0.311 g, 2 mmol) in n-butanol (10 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (1.45 mL, 30 mmol). The reaction was refluxed overnight. The solution was cooled and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in DCM and washed successively by water and brine. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (IV) as a white solid (192 mg, 1.44 mmol, 72% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm 2.64 (s, 3H), 7.14 (dd, J=8.01, 4.62 Hz, 1H), 8.14 (dd, J=7.54, 1.88 HZ, 1H), 8.59 (dd, J=4.52, 1.32 HZ, 1H), 11.68 (brs, 1H).
