“…The isomeric mixture of 1-and 2-ethylindazole was separated by column chromatography (n-hexane-ethyl acetate 3 : 1), yielding pure 1-ethylindazole (L2) in 48% yield (1.19 g). 1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6 , 500.10 MHz): δ 1.40 (t, 3H, J = 7 Hz, -CH 3 ), 4.40 (q, 2 H, J = 7 Hz, N-CH 2 -), 7.13 (dd, 1H, J = 8 Hz, J = 8 Hz, Hind), 7.38 (dd, 1H, J = 8 Hz, J = 8 Hz, Hind), 7.65 (d, 1H, J = 8 Hz, Hind), 7.76 (d, 1H, J = 8 Hz, Hind), 8.06 (s, 1H, Hind) ppm.…”
