Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1-(5-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-ethanone 103 (95.7 g, 0.441 mol.) was added anhydrous hydrazine (240 mL, 7.65 mol.). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and was stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was added to ice (1.4 L). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered and the white solid product was washed with water. The white solid was dried in a vacuum oven to afford the desired 5-bromo-3-methyl-1H-indazole 104 (86.1 g, 0.408 mol.) which was used without further purification.
