Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(5-Iodoindazole-1-yl)-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-(2-fluoro-5-iodobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)benzoic acid (141d, 3.42 g, 8.9 mmol) and potassium tert-butoxide (2.29 g, 20.5 mmol) was stirred under argon atmosphere in NMP (45 mL) at 150° C. for 15 min. The mixture was then cooled, diluted with water and acidified with aqueous HCl (1.7 M). The precipitate that formed was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to give crude 4-(5-iodo-1H-indazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (3.05 g, 94%)
