6-vinyl-1H-indazole → 6-ethyl-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-vinyl-1H-indazole (350 mg, 2.42 mmol) in MeOH (24 ml) was added 10% Pd on carbon (wet, 443 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (balloon) for 2.5 h then filtered over Celite, rinsing with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated to afford 305 mg (86%) of 6-ethyl-1H-indazole as a white semi-solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ (ppm) 8.04 (s, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.32 (s, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 2.80 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.31 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H).
