Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-2H-indazole (650 mg, 1.68 mmol) in THF (10 mL) at −78° C. was added n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 0.74 mL, 1.85 mmol) dropwise via syringe. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 10 minutes, warmed to room temperature for 5 minutes, and cooled back to −78° C. A solution of ethyl cyanocarbonate (188 mg, 1.90 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added via syringe. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl solution and diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (0-20% EtOAc/heptane) to provide the title compound (448 mg, 58% yield).
