dimethyl 2-((1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)methylene)malonate → dimethyl 2-((1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)(phenyl)methyl)malonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethyl 2-((1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)methylene)malonate (424 mg, 1.2 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL dry THF and 1.0M phenylmagnesium bromide in THF (5 mL, 5.0 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h. The reaction was quenched with MeOH then poured into brine and extracted with EtOAc×3. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified on SiO2 by MPLC and eluting with 1:3 EtOAc/hexane. Obtained 435 mg (84% yield) of dimethyl 2-((1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)(phenyl)methyl)malonate. MS found: (M+H)+=333.
