A direct and efficient regioselective C7-bromination of 4-substituted 1H-indazole has been achieved. Subsequently, a successful palladium-mediated Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of C7-bromo-4-substituted-1H-indazoles with boronic acids has been performed under optimized reaction conditions. A series of new C7 arylated 4-substituted 1H-indazoles was obtained in moderate to good yields.
