Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-isobutyl-1H-indazol-5-ol (2.33 g, 12.2 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.03 g, 14.7 mmol) in DMF (75 mL) was added 2,5-difluorobenzonitrile (1.87 g. 13.5 mmol). The mixture was heated to 110° C. for 18 hours under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane. The solution was washed with 1N HCl, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on Biotage eluting with hexanes/ether (5:2) to afford 3.05 g of pale yellow oil (81% yield).
