Iodoethane → 5-Ethoxy-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-hydroxyindazole (2.68 g) in DMF (50 mL) were added ethyl iodide (3.28 g) and potassium carbonate (4.16 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 day. Then, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, the organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate as the eluting solvent) to give Compound Q9 (1.95 g).
