Hydrochloric Acid → 1-methyl-1H-indazol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Iron (3.62 g, 64.7 mmol) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.1 mL) were added to ethanol/water (20 mL/20 mL), and refluxed for 1 hour. The mixed reaction solution was added with 1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-indazole (2.29 g, 12.9 mmol) obtained in <Step 1> above, and further refluxed for 3 hours or more. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad under reduced pressure, and washed with chloroform/2-propanol=4/1(v/v). The filtrate obtained was distilled under reduced pressure, and dissolved in chloroform/2-propanol=4/1 (v/v). The organic layer was washed with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and brine. The obtained organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (1.35 g, 71%).
