Exploring Synthetic Strategies for 1H-Indazoles and Their N-Oxides: Electrochemical Synthesis of 1H-Indazole N-Oxides and Their Divergent C-H Functionalizations

Design and Synthesis of Indazole-Indole Hybrid via tert-Butyl Nitrite Mediated Cascade Diazotization/Isomerization/Cyclization

In this report, a tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)-mediated straightforward metal-free approach has been presented for the synthesis of a diverse range of C-3-substituted indazole-indole hybrids using readily accessible 2-(indolin-3-ylidenemethyl)aniline derivatives. This strategy is proposed to occur via a diazonium salt intermediate that is capable of cascade isomerization and intramolecular C-N bond formation through a 5-endo-dig cyclization to achieve a wide variety of indazole-indole hybrids in good yields.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of 3-Substituted-1H-Indazoles: A Pd-Catalyzed Double C-N Bond Formation Strategy via 1,6-Conjugate Addition

A Pd-catalyzed cascade process for the direct synthesis of 3-substituted-1H-indazole employing p-quinone methide (p-QM) and arylhydrazine through Pd-catalyzed double C-N bond formation via 1,6-conjugate addition is reported. This reaction strategy affords efficient and practical access to synthetically important diverse 3-substituted-1H-indazoles in good yields. The photophysical properties of the synthesized 3-substituted-1H-indazoles are investigated, and some of them showed very good fluorescence properties with quantum yields up to 85%. Also, the synthesized 3-substituted-1H-indazole exhibits an acid-sensitive fluorescence turn-off activity.
