Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Allyl-3-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indazole (0.065 g, 0.18 mmol) was treated with boron tribromide (0.136 mL, 1.4 mmol) and 1.0 mL of cyclohexene at −78° C. and then slowly allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The reaction was quenched by dropwise addition of methanol to the cooled reaction. The solvent was removed and the residue portioned with EtOAc and 1N HCl. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried with Na2SO4). Removal of the solvent in vacuo afforded the crude product. Pure product was obtained by crystallization to give the product (0.066 g) as a white solid, mp 114-115° C.;
