Synthesis of 3-substituted indazoles from arynes and N-tosylhydrazones

Org Lett. 2011 Jul 1;13(13):3340-3. doi: 10.1021/ol201086g. Epub 2011 Jun 1.

Abstract

Readily available, stable, and inexpensive N-tosylhydrazones react with arynes under mild reaction conditions to afford 3-substituted indazoles in moderate to good yields. The reaction appears to involve a dipolar cycloaddition of in situ generated diazo compounds and arynes.
