Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid (8.6 g, 53.04 mmol) in AcOH (200 ml) was added acetic anhydride (16.2 g), and the reaction was stirred for 2.5 h at 80° C. The resulting solution was diluted with n-hexane (400 ml). The solids were collected by filtration and washed with hexane (5×100 ml) to afford 1-acetyl-1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid as an orange solid (8.5 g, 78%).
