Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-3-(5,7-dichloro-3-methoxy-2H-indazol-2-yl)-2-methylpropionitrile was prepared using a procedure similar to that described in Example 1, part b, except starting from 1-(5,7-dichloro-3-methoxy-2H-indazol-2-yl)propan-2-one. 1-(4,6-dichloro-3-methoxy-2H-indazol-2-yl)propan-2-one was prepared using a procedure similar to that described in Example 105 part a to d except using 3,5-dichloro-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (2.1 g) and decaborane (0.41 g) in part a to yield [2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)propyl]-(3,5-dichloro-2-nitrobenzyl)amine (1.2 g, 32%). 3,5-Dichloro-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (2.2 g, 79%) was prepared by nitration of 3,5-dichlorobenzaldehyde (2.2 g) in a mixture of nitric acid (1.5 mL) and sulfuric acid (8 mL) at 0° C. for 30 minutes.
