N-Boc-4-aminopyrazole-5-carbaldehydes react with methyl 3,3-dimethoxypropanoate or β-keto esters in acetic acid under reflux to form methyl(ethyl) pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-6-carboxylates, which were converted to the corresponding tert-butyl carboxylates via intermediate carboxylic acids. Their subsequent hydrogenation on a 10% Pd/C catalyst at 100°C and 25 atm afforded tert-butyl 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-6-carboxylates.
