Vi. Tyvorskii et al., Synthesis of 5-alkyl-4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridines and their transformation into trifluoromethylated 1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridines, TETRAHEDRON, 57(10), 2001, pp. 2051-2055
5-Alkyl-4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridines were prepared in good yields s
tarting from the corresponding pyridinols either using condensation with to
syl isocyanate or by alkylation with 2-chloroacetamide and subsequent Smile
s type rearrangement. The cyclisation of diazonium salts, generated from 5-
alkyl-4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridines afforded trifluoromethylated 1H-
pyrazolo[4,3-c] pyri dines. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reser
