Water → 6-formyl-1H-indazole-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-iodo-1H-indazole-6-carbaldehyde (3 g, 10.8 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) was added Copper cyanide (1.9 g, 21 mmol). The solution was heated by microwave irradiation at 185° C. for 10 min Water (100 mL) was added and a white precipitate was collected. The precipitate was dissolved in EtOAc (250 mL), washed with water (2×25 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the title compound as a white solid (1.1 g, 73%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 14.92 (bs, 1H), 10.17 (s, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H).
