Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture, under N2 of 6-fluoro-1-phenylsulfonyl-3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-1H-indazole (30.0 g, 0.86 mol) of Example 31c, K2CO3 (4.7 g, 0.086 mol) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) [250 ml] was added, dropwise, BrCN (9.1 g, 0.086 mol) dissolved in DMSO (50 ml). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours and water was added. The resultant solid was collected and taken up in CH2Cl2, and after washing the organic layer with H2O, drying (K2CO3) and concentrating there remained 25.3 g of the target compound. A sample (5.0 g) was removed and recrystallized from ethyl acetate (twice) to afford 2.3 g (35%) of 4-(6-fluoro-1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-indazol-3-yl)-1-piperazine carbonitrile m.p. 178°-180° C.
