Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-fluoro-4-trimethylsilanylphenylamino)-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.56 g, 1.1 mmol) in DCM (3 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of iodine monochloride in DCM (2.2 mL, 1M, 2.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched by the addition of water (10 mL) then diluted with saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (10 mL). The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL) and the combined organic fractions washed with brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4) then concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was subjected to flash chromatography (SiO2, gradient 0-100% DCM in cyclohexane) to yield the title compound as a light brown solid (0.51 g, 83%). LCMS (Method B): RT=4.87 min, [M+H]+=566.
