Methane → 1-(3-Fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-indazol-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-{3-fluoro-4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]phenyl}-4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-1H-indazole (D2) (307 mg) in ethanol/ethyl acetate (˜50 mL, 1:1) was hydrogenated in the presence of 10% Pd on charcoal (150 mg) at atmospheric pressure and room temperature for 3 hrs. The mixture was filtered and concentrated and then chromatographed on silica gel (elution with 0-50% ethyl acetate in hexane) to give an off white solid. This was dissolved in ethyl acetate and stirred with charcoal (Norit SX+, 10 mg) for 30 minutes. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to give the title compound (E1) (144 mg).
