Rh(III)-Catalyzed [4 + 1]-Annulation of Azoxy Compounds with Alkynes: A Regioselective Approach to 2H-Indazoles

Rh(III)-Catalyzed [4 + 1]-Annulation of Azoxy Compounds with Alkynes: A Regioselective Approach to 2H-Indazoles
Zhen Long, Jingsong You, Yudong Yang
A rhodium-catalyzed regioselective C–H activation/cyclization of azoxy compounds with alkynes has been disclosed to construct a variety of 2H-indazoles. A [4 + 1]-cycloaddition rather than a normal [4 + 2] mode is observed in the process of cyclative capture along with an oxygen-atom transfer and a C≡C triple bond cleavage. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, a good functional group tolerance, and an exclusive regioselectivity.
