Synthesis of pyrazino[1,2- b]indazoles via cascade cyclization of indazole aldehydes with propargylic amines

Org Biomol Chem. 2024 Mar 13;22(11):2226-2230. doi: 10.1039/d4ob00051j.

Abstract

An efficient intermolecular annulation of indazole aldehydes with propargylic amines has been developed for the synthesis of pyrazinoindazoles under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. This straightforward methodology was found to feature a wide substrate scope, high atom economy and environmental advantages. The bioactivity results of these new pyrazino[1,2-b]indazoles showed that some of them exhibited significant antifungal activity.
