Ethanol → 2-(5-Nitro-1H-indazol-1-yl)ethan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (4 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added aqueous hydrazine (5 mmol), and the resulting solution was heated at reflux for 2 h to complete hydrazone formation. DIEA (10 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the reaction was subjected to microwave irradiation at 150° C. for 8-10 h. After removal of volatiles in vacuo, the residue obtained was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL), washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to yield the product, 2-(5-nitroindazol-1-yl)-ethanol.
