Direct Access to Acylated Azobenzenes Via Pd-catalyzed C-H Functionalization and Further Transformation into an Indazole Backbone
Overview
Chemistry
Affiliations
Azobenzenes were readily acylated at the 2-position through a Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization from simple aromatic azo compounds and aldehydes in good yields. The obtained acylated azobenzenes could be efficiently converted into the corresponding indazole derivatives in nearly quantitative yields.
