Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-(4-piperidyl)-1-n-propylindazole-3-carboxamide hydrochloride (0.32 g) obtained in Example 20 were added formic acid (0.7 ml) and a 36% aqueous solution of formaldehyde (0.3 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. Then formic acid (4 ml) and a 36% aqueous solution of formaldehyde (1.6 ml) were further added, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 2.5 hours. The reaction solution was distilled off under reduced pressure, and to the residue were added chloroform and aqueous ammonia. After extraction with chloroform, the chloroform layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, and distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform methanol:aqueous ammonia 90:10:2) to give the title compound (0.06 g). Yield 18%.
