Water → 6-Chloro-1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon, 2.45 ml (14.2 mmol) of 2-fluorobenzyl bromide, dissolved in 10 ml DMF, were added to a mixture of 2.3 g (12.9 mmol) of 6-chloro-1H-indazole-3-carbonitrile (WO 2011/149921, Expl. 58C) and 2.15 g (15.5 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 40 ml of DMF, and the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. Then the mixture was poured onto 90 ml of water and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The precipitated solids were filtered off, washed with water and dried under high vacuum overnight. 3.77 g of the title compound were obtained as a crude product.
