Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-aza indazole (250 mg, 2.1 mmol) and ethyl bromoacetate (0.47 mL, 4.2 mmol) in DMF (8 mL) was added K2CO3 (1.16 gm, 8.4 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at 70° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2×5 mL), brine (5 mL), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified using silica gel column chromatography eluting with EtOAc:hexane 10:90 to afford the title compound as an off-white solid in 49% yield, 210 mg.
