Trimethylsilyl iodide → 5-Fluoro-2-[1-(2-oxoethyl)-1H-indazol-5-yloxy]-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[1-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-1H-indazol-5-yloxy]-5-fluorobenzonitrile (1.42 g, 4.16 mmol) in dichloromethane (62 mL) was added iodotrimethylsilane (3.33 g, 16.64 mmol) portion-wise over 3 hours. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Aqueous NaHCO3 (60 mL) was added to the mixture and it was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined extracts were washed with Na2S2O4, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was used in the next reaction without further purification.
