Ethanol → 1-((6-isopropylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl-1H-indazol-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask equipped with an overhead stirrer and condenser was charged with 1-((6-isopropylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-indazole (25 g, 0.081 mol) and 150 mL of ethanol, followed by 45 g (0.805 mol) of iron powder. An equal amount of saturated ammonium chloride solution was added and the mixture was brought to 80° C. After 5 hours of heating, the mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, diluted with water (500 mL) and filtered through GF/F filter paper multiple times to remove the iron and iron salts. The filtrate was extracted with EtOAc, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Column chromatography (1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane to 100% ethyl acetate) afforded 12.6 g (56%) of 1-((6-isopropylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl-1H-indazol-4-amine.
