Rh(iii)-catalyzed, hydrazine-directed C–H functionalization with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols: a new strategy for 1H-indazoles†
Abstract
Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of phenylhydrazines with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols was realized through a hydrazine-directed C–H functionalization pathway. This [4+1] annulation, based on the cleavage of a Csp–Csp triple bond in alkynylcyclobutanol, provides a new pathway to prepare diverse 1H-indazoles under mild reaction conditions.
