Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.90 g (30.7 mmol) 5-bromo-3-ethyl-1H-indazole (Example 16A) in THF (300 ml) was cooled to −78° C. At this temperature, 63.1 ml (107 mmol) of tert-butyllithium solution (1.7 M in n-pentane) were slowly added. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes before N,N-dimethylformamide (80.0 ml) was slowly added. The cooling bath was removed, and stirring was continued until room temperature was reached. Then, water (250 ml) was added carefully. The mixture was extracted several times with ethyl acetate (500 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 4.5 g (84% of th.) of the crude title compound which was used in the next step without further purification.
