Ethanol → (1H-Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-4-yl)methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1H-Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (290 mg, 2.01 mmol) was dissolved in aqueous NH4OH (4 mL) and EtOH (4 mL) then added wet Raney Nickel (2 mL). The reaction was put under a balloon of H2 gas and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite®, washing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield C-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-4-yl)-methylamine as a tan solid.
