Iodoethane → 1,3-diethyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of potassium tert-butoxide (0.144 g, 1.28 mmol) and iodoethane (0.20 g, 1.28 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added to a solution of 3-ethyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (0.20 g, 0.86 mmol) in THF (3 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Ethyl acetate (30 mL) was then added and the product was extracted with 0.5 N HCl (10 mL). The aqueous layer was then re-extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organics were combined, dried, filtered and concentrated to afford 250 mg of 1,3-diethyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide that was used without further purification.
