Triethylamine → ethyl 2-[1-[4-(2-naphthamido)benzyl]-1H-indazol-3-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude ethyl 2-[1-(4-aminobenzyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]acetate (about 1.04 mmol) obtained in the last step and triethylamine (1.4 mL) were dissolved in dichloromethane (15 mL). In an ice bath, a dichloromethane solution (10 mL) of 2-naphthoyl chloride (210 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added dropwise slowly. Upon completion of the dropwise addition, it was reacted at room temperature for 16 hours. An aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate was added to quench. It was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=2:1) to obtain a white solid 226 mg, at a total yield over two steps of reactions of 46.9%.
