A new solvent/ligand controlled switchable C–H arylation of 1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-indazole catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 was achieved. A bidentate ligand in DMA promoted the activation at C7 position, while a phosphine ligand in H2O oriented the arylation at C3 position. The C3 and C7 arylation products were obtained in moderate to good yields and in high regioselectivity.
A regioselective C7-bromination of 4-substituted 1H-indazoles followed by a palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction with boronic acids is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
