2-Iodoxybenzoic acid → 5-bromo-2-methyl-2H-indazole-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-2-methyl-2H-indazol-4-yl)methanol (324 mg, 1.34 mmol) and o-iodoxybenzoic acid (414 mg, 1.48 mmol) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (6.7 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with diethyl ether, washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (311 mg, yield 97%).
