Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 7-chloro-1H-indazole-5-carbonitrile (1.36 g, 7.66 mmol) in ethanol (52.5 mL) was added water (17.5 mL) and potassium hydroxide (6.44 g, 115 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, extracted twice with ethyl ether, acidified the aqueous with 1N hydrochloric acid and the resultant precipitate was filtered to afford 7-chloro-1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid as a brown solid (900 mg, 60%): −ESI MS (M−H) 195.2.
