Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-7-fluoro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine (3.05 g, 10.1 mmol) was suspended in propionitrile (60 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen and bromotrimethylsilane (4.0 mL, 30.0 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. overnight. The resultant mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a beige solid (3.5 g, 100% yield). This was used directly in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.46 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 8.21 (d, J=3.4 Hz, 1H), 7.85-7.77 (m, 1H), 7.74-7.64 (m, 2H).
