Triethylamine → 4-Chloro-N-1H-indazol-5-ylbutanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (2.1 ml, 15 mmol) was added to a suspension of 5-aminoindazole (1.00 g, 7.51 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) at room temperature, followed by adding thereto a solution of 4-chlorobutyryl chloride (1.16 g, 8.26 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) at 0° C., and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Then, a 1N-aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was suspended in ethanol and stirred, followed by filtration. The solid collected by the filtration was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 4-chloro-N-(1H-indazol-5-yl)butanamide (572 mg, 32%).
