Cesium carbonate → HCID 118415302, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(benzylthio)-6-fluoro-1H-indazole (1-2, 1.5 g, 5.81 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in NMP (29.0 mL) was added cesium carbonate (5.68 g, 17.42 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and 1-(bromomethyl)-2-iodobenzene (2.59 g, 8.71 mmol, 1.5 equiv) and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was washed with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated and the residue was purified by normal phase chromatography followed by reverse phase chromatography (50%→100% 0.1% TFA in ACN: 0.1% TFA in water) to yield the desired regioisomer. ESI+ MS [M+H]+ C21H16FIN2S: 475.1 found, 475.3 required.
