Abstract

The palladium- and copper-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions of 1H- and 2H-indazoles with haloarenes are described. A PdCl 2/phen/Ag 2CO 3/K 3PO 4 catalytic system is effective for the C-H arylation of 1H- and 2H-indazoles with haloarenes, whereas a less expensive CuI/phen/LiOt-Bu catalytic system is applicable to the C-H coupling of substituted 2H-indazoles and iodoarenes. The utility of newly developed catalyst was demonstrated in the rapid synthesis of YC-1 (an antitumor agent) and YD-3 (platelet anti-aggregating agent). These new reactions represent important direct functionalization tools of indazoles, well-known bioisosteres of pharmaceutically important indole core.
