Ethylmorpholine → N-(4-cyanomethyl-1H-indazol-7-yl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., 1.7 g of 2-(7-amino-1H-indazol-4-yl)acetonitrile in 15 ml of dimethylformamide and 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran is combined with 0.96 ml of methanesulfonyl chloride and 1.56 ml of N-ethylmorpholine and agitated for 16 hours at room temperature. The mixture is concentrated, chromatographed over silica gel with methanol/dichloromethane (1:3), and recrystallized from methanol, thus producing 2.2 g of N-(4-cyanomethyl-1H-indazol-7-yl)methanesulfonamide, mp 223°-225° C.
