Ethylamine → HCID 1266366, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazol-1-yl]benzoic acid (310 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was treated with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (162 mg, 1.0 mmol) at room temperature under argon. This mix was stirred for 30 minutes and then treated with a 2M solution of ethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (0.5 ml). The whole mix was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and reduced to minimum volume by rotary evaporation to give a beige solid (250 mg) which was purified by column chromatography on a 5 g pre-packed silica column, eluting from 0-50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the title compound as a colourless solid (128 mg, 38%).
