Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2,3-dimethyl-6-nitro-2H-indazole (0.48 g, 2.5 mmol, 1 equiv) was dissolved in 2-methoxyethylether (4.3 ml) with heating then cooled down to 0° C. Tin chloride (1.6 g, 7.1 mmol, 2.8 equiv) was added under nitrogen. Concentrated HCl (3.2 ml) was added dropwise keeping the temperature below 5° C. When all the HCl was added, the reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 45 min. Ether (14 ml) was added and a precipitate was collected too yield the desired product as an hydrochloride salt (0.35 g, 86.8%).
