Reaction Steps

Part A. 3-Chloro-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinone (10.0 g, 38.17 mmol) and (1Z)-1-[chloro(methylsulfonyl)methylene]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)hydrazine (5.0 g, 38.17 mmol) were stirred in toluene (200 mL) at RT under N2. Et3N (30 mL, 215.24 mmol) in toluene (150 mL) was added dropwise to the solution. After addition, the mixture was heated at 85° C. overnight. After cooling, H2O was added. It was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The organic layers were washed with H2O (2×) and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2, then CH2Cl2:EtOAc=1:1, then EtOAc) to give 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(methylsulfonyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridin-7-one (3.85 g, yield: 31%). LC/MS (ESI+) 322.4 (M+H)+, tR=1.79 min (10–90% CH3CN/H2O in a 4-min run).
