Reaction Steps

Ethyl 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-oxo-6-[4-(2-oxo-1(2H)-pyridinyl)phenyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3-carboxylate (0.5 g, 1.03 mmol) was hydrolyzed with lithium hydroxide (0.13 g, 3 mmol) and a mixture of methyl alcohol (5 mL), THF (25 mL) and water (25 mL) for 24 h. The reaction was acidified with conc. HCl and the resulting solid filtered off. The product was suspended in 1:1 CH2Cl2/hexanes, filtered, and dried to afford 0.37 g (79%) white solid; Mass Spec (M+H)+ 457.3.
