Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-1H-indazole (1 g, 4.35 mmol) in DMF (13 ml) were added KOH (488 mg, 8.7 mmol) and NBS (1.15 g, 6.48 mmol) at RT. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at RT. Water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with EtOAc (2×20 ml). Combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The organic layer was concentrated and purified by column using silica (100-200 mesh) and 0-15 EtOAc-hexane to provide 3-bromo-5-(2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-1H-indazole (600 mg, 45% yield). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 306.9 (M−1).
