Ammonium Chloride → 1-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-1H-indazol-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-indazole (0.142 g, 0.491 mmol), ammonium chloride (0.013 g, 0.245 mmol) in 4:1 v/v EtOH/water (5 mL) was treated with iron (0.274 g, 4.91 mmol) and refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated and the residue taken in EtOAc/water, filtered through glass fiber filter paper and concentrated again to provide 1-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-1H-indazol-4-amine (0.096 mg, 75% yield) as an amber oil.
