Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-1H-indazole-4-carbonitrile (5 g, 22.52 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was added, in portions, sodium hydride (1.351 g, 33.8 mmol) and the mixture stirred at 20° C. for 15 mins then cooled to 0° C. when benzenesulfonyl chloride (3.16 ml, 24.77 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 18 h then concentrated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between water (100 ml) and dichloromethane (100 ml). The organic layer was separated by hydrophobic frit and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow solid (7.94 g).
