Trifluoroacetic acid → 7-Chloro-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [7-chloro-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (531 mg, contaminated with residual tert-butyl carbamate) and TFA (10 mL) in DCM (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and sodium bicarbonate (sat. aq.). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a beige solid (100 g, 30% yield over 2 steps). LCMS (Method D): RT=2.15 min, m/z: 313 [M+H+].
