Water → methyl (E)-4-[2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

(1H-indazol-3-ylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium iodide (3.20 g, 6.15 mmol) obtained in Step 4 was dissolved in methanol (60 mL), and the solution was added with methyl p-formylbenzoate (1.00 g, 6.09 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.55 g, 18.5 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was added with water, and was extracted with ethyl acetate, then the organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by thin-layer chromatography (chloroform/methanol=15/1), was further triturated in mixed solvent of ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to obtain methyl (E)-4-[2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl]benzoate (0.87 g, 51%).
