Abstract

This work reports on the synthesis of the novel indazole scaffolds 7-OTf-1H-indazole (trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 1H-­indazol-7-yl ester), 7-iodo-1H-indazole and 3-bromo-7-iodo-1H-indazole. These new compounds are potent building blocks in ­divergent syntheses of indazoles via palladium cross-coupling ­reactions.

Key words

7-nitro-1H-indazole - indazole - cross-coupling - heterocycles - dihalogenated hetarenes

To a solution of 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline (5.00 g, 32.9 mmol) in glacial AcOH (235 mL) was added all at once a solution of sodium nitrite (2.27 g, 32.9 mmol) in H2O (5.5 mL). During this addition the temperature was not allowed to rise above 25 °C. After the nitrite solution had been added, stirring was maintained for 20 min. Any yellow precipitate formed during this time was filtered and discarded. Then, the solution was evaporated in vacuo. Cold H2O was added to the residue and the contents of the flask were washed into a beaker where they were stirred. The product was filtered, rinsed with cold H2O and dried to afford 7-nitro-1H-indazole (5.29 g, 98% yield); mp 180 °C.
