Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round-bottomed flask, 6-chloro-1H-indazole (90 mg, 0.59 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (1.4 mL). Iodine (300 mg, 1.18 mmol) was added followed by potassium hydroxide (128 mg, 2.28 mmol). The dark reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h then was quenched with 10% aq NaHSO3 and extracted with diethyl ether (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 169 mg (98%) of 6-chloro-3-iodo-1H-indazole as an orange solid.
