Hydrogen Peroxide → 7-Bromo-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-5-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-bromo-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (3.43 g, 10 mmol) and methyltrioxorhenium (249 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DCM (35 mL) was added hydrogen peroxide (30% aq., 1.95 mL, 20 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between DCM and sodium bicarbonate (sat. aq.). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-5% methanol in DCM) to afford the title compound as a beige solid (1.7 g, 47% yield). LCMS (Method D): RT=2.46 min, m/z: 360 [M+H+].
