Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid (1.5 g, 6.22 mmol) in methanol (25 mL) was added thionyl chloride (2.26 ml, 31.12 mmol). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL), water (10 mL) and dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title intermediate: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) delta 4.08 (3H, s), 7.44 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 7.89 (1H, s), 8.09 (1H, d, J=8.7 Hz), 11.70 (1H, s); LC-MS: m/z=+254.85/256.75 (M+H)+.
