Hydrochloric Acid → 4-bromo-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the 1-(4-bromo-indazol-1-yl)-ethanone A (3.09 g, 12.9 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was added 6N aqueous HCl (30 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 7 h. The MeOH was evaporated and the mixture partitioned between EtOAc (2 50 mL) and water (50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), separated and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to give 4-bromo-1H-indazole B (2.36 g, 93%).
