Methyl iodide → 1H-Indazole, 1-methyl-6-nitro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-nitroindazole (8 g) in THF (200 ml) was added NaH (2.5 g) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred for 30 min and MeI (3.7 ml) was added and stirred at RT overnight. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc twice, then was further purified by column chromatography to give 1-methyl-6-nitro-1H-indazole which was hydrogenated with an H2 atmosphere in the presence of Pd/C (400 mg) to give 1-methyl-6-amino-1H-indazole.
