Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chloro-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazole (217 g) in conc. sulfuric acid (1 kg) was cooled to 5° C., and 99 % nitric acid (67 g) was dropwise added thereto at a temperature below about 10° C., followed by stirring for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was added to ice-water (10 kg), and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, washed and dried to give 3-chloro-2-(2,4-difluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazole (227 g). m.p., 117° -118 ° C. (decomp.).
