Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 500-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 6-bromo-1-phenyl-1H-indazole-3-thiol (24 g, 78.69 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in CH3CN (200 mL), Cs2CO3 (28.8 g, 88.34 mmol, 1.12 equiv). To the resulting mixture as then added iodomethane (12.6 g, 88.73 mmol, 1.13 equiv) dropwise with stirring at room temperature. The resulting solution was stirred for 60 min at room temperature. The solids were filtered out. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:100) to yield 6-bromo-3-(methylthio)-1-phenyl-1H-indazole as a yellow solid. MS: 328 (MH+).
