Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (0.488 g, 12.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added a solution of ethyl diethylphosphonoacetate (2.44 mL, 12.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 20 min. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-indazole-4-carbaldehyde (2.16 g, 11.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10.0 mL), and the mixture was warmed to room temperature over 4 hr. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=1/3) to give the title compound (2.54 g, yield 86%).
