Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-iodo-5-nitro-1H-indazole (6.9 g, 23.87 mmol) was taken up in NMP (90 mL) and copper (I) cyanide (4.28 g, 47.7 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 160° C. for 1 h, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and filtered through celite, rinsing with EtOAc. The filtrate was washed 2× with water and 2× with brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography eluting with 0%-50% EtOAc/Hex. 0.91 g of 5-nitro-1H-indazole-3-carbonitrile was obtained.
