Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Water (20 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (20 ml) were added to a solution of 1H-indazole-5-carbonitrile (3.00 g, 20.1 mmol) in acetic acid (20 ml) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours. Then, the reaction solution was poured onto ice and the solid precipitated was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid (2.88 g, 88%).
