Consecutive Condensation, C–N and N–N Bond Formations: A Copper- Catalyzed One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of 2H-Indazole

Consecutive Condensation, C–N and N–N Bond Formations: A Copper- Catalyzed One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of 2H-Indazole

Abstract

2H-Indazoles are synthesized using copper-catalyzed, one-pot, three-component reactions of 2-bromobenzaldehydes, primary amines, and sodium azide. A copper catalyst plays the key role in the formation of C–N and N–N bonds. This method has a broad substrate scope with a high tolerance for a variety of functional groups.
