Ethyl Acetate → HCID 59262248, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-3-methylindazole 104 (2 g, 9.48 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (20 mL), cooled in ice bath, was added-sodium hydride (60% w/w, 0.57 g, 14.25 mmol) and (2-trimethylsilylethoxy)methyl chloride (2.5 mL, 14.16 mmol) in a dropwise manner. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred for 1 hour. Ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added. The organic layer was washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution, water and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography to yield the desired 5-bromo-3-methyl-N-(2-trimethylsilanylethoxymethyl)indazole 116 (2.95 g, 8.65 mmol) as a mixture of the 1H- and 2H-indazole regioisomers.
