Procedure

Unpurified 6-(3-methoxy-4-methoxymethoxy-phenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzenesulfonyl)-1H-indazole (under argon) was dissolved in THF (20 mL) and was treated with 1N NaOH in MeOH (70 mL degassed by bubbling through argon for 3 to 5 min). The mixture was heated to 45° C. for 1 h and allowed to cool. The mixture was neutralized by addition of 1N HCl (50 mL) followed by saturated sodium bicarbonate (200 mL). The product was extracted into ethyl acetate (350 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude 6-(3-methoxy-4-methoxymethoxy-phenyl)-1H-indazole. Purification by silica gel chromatography (500 mL silica, 20% ethyl acetate in benzene (1.8 L), 30% ethyl acetate in benzene (1.8 L)) gave 6-(3-methoxy-4-methoxymethoxy-phenyl)-1H-indazole (1.19 g, 31%): 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.69 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 7.52 (s, 1H), 7.29 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 7.16 (s, 1H), 7.13 (s, 1H), 7.08 (s, 1H). MS (ES) [m+Na]/z Calc'd 337, found 337; [m+Cl−]/z Calc'd 349, found 349.
