Ethyl o-azidobenzimidate (6) and o-azidobenzamidine (7) on thermolysis yield 3-ethoxy-(9 ; X = OEt) and 3-amino-IH-indazole (9; X = NHJ, respectively. The former product is also obtained on irradiation of the imidate in methanol-tetrahydrofuran solution.2-Aryl-and 2heteroaryl-3-chloro-2H-indazoles have been prepared by the action of hot thionyl chloride on o-azidoanilides. The trichloro-2H-indazoles obtained by the action of phosphorus pentachloride on o-azidobenzanilide (1 2) and by the action of thionyl chloride on N-(0-azidobenzoyl) -2aminopyridine have been identified as the 3,5,7-trichloro derivatives. The reductive dehalogenation, nitration, and reactivity of the halogen towards nucleophiles, of 3-chloro-2-phenyl-2H-indazole (1 9) are reported.A new practicable synthesis of o-azidobenzaldehyde (31 ; X = 0) is described. Thermolysis of its phenyl hydrazone and semicarbazone derivatives yields 2H-indazoles.
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.
