Cyanogen Bromide → HCID 14032617, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A sample of 8.4 g of 1-benzoyl-3-(1-methyl-4-piperidinyl)-1H-indazole hydrochloride was converted to its free base and the base was dissolved in 135 ml of chloroform. The solution was stirred and 4.0 g of potassium carbonate was added followed by 2.7 g of cyanogen bromide. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 16 hrs. The mixture was filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The mixture was chromatographed on a high-pressure column chromatography apparatus (silica gel), eluting with 0.3% methanol/dichloromethane. Evaporation of the appropriate fraction followed by recrystallization from toluene hexane yielded 2.2 g (28%) of the product, mp 144°-146° C.
