A new synthetic route to 3-(heteroaryl) tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridines has been developed that uses the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of a triflate 6 with (hetero)aryl boronic acids or esters. Using Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos or an XPhos precatalyst, a diverse range of substituents at the C3 position of the tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine skeleton were prepared. The use of pivaloyloxymethyl and benzyl protection also offers the potential to differentially functionalize the pyrazole and tetrahydropyridine nitrogens. |
