Ethylene Glycol → 4-[4-(t-Butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl]-3-(1-naphthylthio)-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[4-(t-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl]-3-iodo-1H-indazole (0.068 g, 0.159 mmol), copper(I) iodide (0.005 g, 0.024 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.044 g, 0.318 mmol) are added to a screw-capped test tube with a Teflon-lined septum. The tube is evacuated and backfilled with argon and this procedure repeated twice more. The reaction mixture is treated sequentially with 2-propanol (1.5 mL), ethylene glycol (19 μL, 0.318 mmol) and 1-naphthalenethiol (0.051 g, 0.318 mmol), heated at 130°–140° C. for 8 h, cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered through diatomaceous earth. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant crude material is purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 40:60 ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford the title compound as a colorless oil, 0.033 g (45% yield), identified by NMR and mass spectral analyses.
