N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone → 7-Bromo-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,7-dibromo-2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (730 mg, 1.73 mmol) in NMP (6.5 mL) and 33% aqueous ammonia (3.5 mL) was sealed in a microwave vial and irradiated in a microwave reactor at 160° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with ether to afford the title compound as a beige solid (515 mg, 84% yield). LCMS (Method C): RT=2.00 min, m/z: 357 [M+H+].
