Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-Dimethyl 2-((3,7-dichloro-4-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)methyl)succinate (990 mg, 2.64 mmol) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (2.0 M in dichloromethane) (20 mL, 40.0 mmol). Mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Mixture was concentrated by roto-vap. Residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. Mixture was washed twice with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. Organics were dried MgSO4, filtered and then concentrated to dryness. A portion of the residue (535 mg, 1.359 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (15 mL). 2,2,2-Trifluoroethylamine (600 μl, 7.57 mmol) was added to the mixture followed by potassium carbonate (225 mg, 1.628 mmol). Mixture was warmed to reflux and held with stirring for 1 hour. Mixture was cooled to room temperature and then filtered over celite. Filtrate was concentrated by roto-vap. Residue was dissolved in toluene (15 mL). Acetic acid (500 μl, 8.73 mmol) was added to the mixture. Reaction was warmed to reflux and held with stirring for 14 hours. Mixture was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate. Material was washed twice with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the aqueous phase was discarded. Organics were dried MgSO4, filtered and then concentrated to dryness. Silica gel chromatography eluting ethyl acetate-hexanes afforded the title compound as off-white solid in 42% yield. MS (M+H)+=423.9, 425.9.
