Participants

Procedure

1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-5-nitro-1H-indazole (275 mg, 0.93 mmol) from Step 1 of this example was dissolved in MeOH (4.6 ml) and EtOAc (10 ml) to give a clear yellow solution. Pd/C (10%, 98 mg) was added, the vessel evacuated and backfilled with hydrogen (3×) and slurry stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 30 minutes. The mixture was filtered through CELITE, the filter cake washed with EtOAc (2×40 ml), the filtrates combined and the volatiles removed in vacuum to give the titled compound.
