A mixture of 3-[2-(1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyridine (2.5 g), 10% palladium on carbon (500 mg, 50% wet) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 .mu.l) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere.
On confirmation of the absence of the starting material by TLC check, the catalyst was removed by filtration and to the filtrate was added triethylamine.
The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was chromatographed on silica gel (100 ml) eluting successively with chloroform, 9% and 20% methanol in chloroform.
Fractions containing desired product were collected and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product, which was recrystallized from ethanol to give 3-[2-(4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (817 mg, 42.6% yield).

EXAMPLE 35
A mixture of 3-[2-(4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (650 mg) and acetic anhydride (1.53 ml) in pyridine (30 ml) was stirred overnight at room temperature.
Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which was dissolved in chloroform (150 ml) and washed succesively with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate in water and saturated sodium chloride in water, and dried over magnesium sulfate.
Evaporation of the solvent gave a crude product, which was recrystallized from ethanol to give 3-[2-(1-acetyl-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (284 mg, 39.6% yield).
