Tributylvinyltin → 6-vinyl-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-bromo-1H-indazole (600 mg, 3.05 mmol) in toluene (18 ml) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (6 ml) were added tributyl(vinyl)tin (1.33 ml, 4.57 mmol) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (214 mg, 0.31 mmol). The reaction was purged with argon then heated at reflux for 3 h. Additional tributyl(vinyl)tin (0.66 ml, 2.28 mmol) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (107 mg, 0.15 mmol) were added and heating was continued for 1 h. The same reaction was performed on an additional batch of 6-bromo-1H-indazole (200 mg, 1.02 mmol) and the two crude batches were combined. The reactions were diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with 5% to 50% EtOAc/heptane to isolate 350 mg (60%) of 6-vinyl-1H-indazole as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ (ppm) 8.07 (s, 1H), 7.72 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.35 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.85 (dd, J=17.4, 11.0 Hz, 1H), 5.86 (d, J=17.4 Hz, 1H), 5.35 (d, J=11.0 Hz, 1H).
