6-Nitroindazole → 3-bromo-6-nitro-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.0 g of 6-nitro-1H-indazole in 50 ml dimethylformamide was added 5.73 g of N-bromosuccinimide at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. After removing the solvent by distillation, the residue was added with 250 ml of ethyl acetate. The mixture was sequentially washed with half-saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtrating the organic layer through a silica gel pat, the solvent was evaporated and the resulting crystals were suspended in toluene, to give 6.59 g of the title compound as light brown crystals.
