2-tert-Butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine → 3-iodo-4-nitro-1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Tert-butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-guanidine (0.48 mL, 2.4 mmol) was added to a mixture of 3-iodo-4-nitro-1H-indazole (0.30 g, 1.0 mmol) and 2-(2-bromoethyl)pyridine hydrobromide (0.30 g, 1.1 mmol) in CH3CN (4 mL). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight, diluted with H2O (35 mL), stirred for 30 minutes, and then extracted with CHCl3. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with EtOAc, to provide 3-iodo-4-nitro-1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-1H-indazole (0.14 mg, 34%) as a solid.
