Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 68614934, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-bromo-2-methyl-2H-indazole (6: R=Me; 0.500 g, 2.37 mmol) in 5 mL of acetic acid was added sulfuryl chloride (0.29 mL, 3.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 h, then 30 mL of a 2 M aqueous NaOH solution were added. The mixture was extracted with three 30 mL portions of ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to a white solid. Column chromatography (0→15% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded slightly impure 7-bromo-3-chloro-2-methyl-2H-indazole (25: R=Me; 0.530 g; 90%) that was used without further purification.
