6-fluoro-3-[4-(phenylmethyl)piperazinyl]-1H-indazole → 6-fluoro-3-piperazin-1-yl-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 12 parts of 6-fluoro-3-[4-(phenylmethyl)-piperazinyl]-1H-indazole, 1 part of Raney nickel catalyst and 200 parts of methanol was hydrogenated in a Parr-apparatus at normal pressure and at 50° C. with 2 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off over diatomaceous earth and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from acetonitrile. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 7.7 parts (92.0%) of 6-fluoro-3-(1-piperazinyl)-1H-indazole (int. 8).
