Sulfuric Acid → 6-hydroxy-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-aminoindazole (2.66 g, 20 mmol) is added to 20% of dilute sulfuric acid and the reaction is performed under microwave radiation at 170° C. for 1 hour using microwave powder of 600 watt, and then terminated. The reaction solution is cooled, adjusted to pH=7 with 5% NaOH and stirred for 10 minutes to precipitated a deposit, which is recrystallized in water to obtain 1.5 g of 6-hydroxyindazole, with a yield of 51%.
