Procedure

To a stirred solution of methyl 6-bromo-3-formyl-1-isopropyl-1H-indazole-4-carboxylate (4.5 g, 13.84 mmol) in DMF (31.5 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.342 g, 1.8 mmol), p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide (3.35 g, 18.0 mmol) followed by sulfolane (31.5 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and sodium cyanoborohydride (3.489 g, 55.0 mmol) was added portion wise over a period of 25 min. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 h and then at RT for 6 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×300 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude residue (4.4 g) was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: 0-5% ethyl acetate: pet ether) to afford the title compound as an off white solid (2.95 g, 68%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 1.559 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 6H), 2.674 (s, 3H), 3.976 (s, 3H), 4.667-4.767 (m, 1H), 7.715 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.761 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H). LCMS (ES+): 98.63%, 313.06 [M+H] ion present.
