Numerous procedures have been described for the functionalization of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, mainly nucleophilic substitutions on C-4 position and esterifications/amidations on C-5 position. Thus, we report herein a robust, easy to implement protocol for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of the chloroarene 2, followed by in situ lactonisation to provide chromenopyrazolopyridines. The extension of the scope of the reaction to fused naphthyridinones is also reported. This strategy granted the access to ten original pyrazolopyridine-embedded tetracyclic compounds.
