Pyridine → Methyl 4-[6-(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-3-methoxyindazol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclopentyl chloroformate (0.17 ml.) was added to a cooled (-20° C.) solution of methyl 4-[6-amino-3-methoxyindazol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoate (S) (0.381 g.) and pyridine (0.11 ml.) in dichloromethane (3.0 ml.). After warming to ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with hydrochloric acid (1N), water, brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (56 g.), eluting with 5:95 v/v ethyl acetate: dichloromethane, to give the title compound (0.365 g., 75%) as an oil, with satisfactory NMR spectral data.
