Ethanol → 3-Amino-5-nitroindazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine monohydrate (4.87 ml) was added to an EtOH (19 ml) solution containing 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (1.83 g), followed by stirring for 0.5 hour under ice cooling. Water was added to the reaction solution, and a solid precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with IPE and ethyl acetate. A red solid of 5-nitro-1H-indazol-3-amine (1.45 g) was thus obtained.
