Methyl iodide → HCID 67491844, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl 6-methyl 3-hydroxy-1H-indazole-1,6-dicarboxylate (1.35 g, 5.11 mmol) was suspended in acetone (65 mL). Cesium carbonate (1.75 g, 5.36 mmol) and methyl iodide (1.0 mL, 15 mmol) were added and the reaction was heated to reflux for 23 hours. The reaction was concentrated to dryness. The residue was taken up in dichloromethane (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous was extracted again with dichloromethane. The combined organics were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography gave two regioisomeric products.
