Oxalyl chloride → N-[5-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-4-nitro-2-[tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl(trifluoroacetyl)amino]benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-nitro-2-[(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-(2,2,2-trifluoro-acetyl)-amino]-benzoic acid (3.62 g, 10 mmol) and oxalyl chloride (3.8 mL, 30 mmol) were stirred in DCM dry (120 mL) and a few drops of dry DMF at room temperature for 2 hours Volatiles were evaporated and the residue dissolved in dry pyridine (50 mL) at 0° C. A solution of 5-(3,5-difluoro-benzyl)-1H-indazol-3-ylamine (2 gr, 7.72 mmol) in dry pyridine (20 mL) was added to the cooled reaction mixture under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was allowed to react overnight at room temperature, then the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken-up with EtOAc and washed with aqueous NaHCO3 sat. sol., water and brine. Organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using AcOEt/Hexane 7:3 as the eluant, affording 3.9 g of the title compound.
