Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[5-(3,5-Difluoro-benzyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-2-nitro-4-piperidin-1-ylmethyl-benzamide (255 mg, 0.505 mmol) was suspended in DCM (7 mL) and treated with nBu4NCl (95 mg, 0.343 mmol). Na2S2O4 (659 mg, 3.029 mmol) in water (3.4 mL) was added drop-wise, with stirring. After 2 hours, the volatiles were removed by evaporation, a solid was filtered from the aqueous phase and dried under vacuum. The solid was treated with 4N HCl in dioxane (12 mL) and the solvent was then removed by evaporation. The solid was dissolved in DCM (100 mL), washed with aqueous K2CO3 and then with brine. After drying over sodium sulphate and removal of the solvent, 248 mg of title compound were obtained in more than quantitative yield. The crude was employed in the following step with no further purification.
