Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 2H-indazole derivatives based on the one-pot three-component reaction of 2-chloro- and 2-bromobenzaldehydes, primary amines and sodium azide is described. The reaction is catalyzed by copper(I) oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O-NP) under ligand-free conditions in polyethylene glycol (PEG 300) as a green solvent.

  • 20 General Procedure: To a mixture of 2-bromobenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol) or 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol), amine (1.1 mmol) and NaN3 (2.0 mmol) in polyethylene glycol (PEG 300; 3.0 mL) was added the Cu2O-NP catalyst (5 mol%) and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C for 2-bromobenzaldehyde or at 170 °C for 2-chlorobenzaldehyde. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using n-hexane–EtOAc (10:1). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t., the mixture was poured into EtOAc (30.0 mL) and washed with deionized H2O (3 × 20.0 mL) and brine (3 × 20.0 mL). The organic layer was dried (CaCl2), filtered and evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography employing n-hexane–EtOAc (10:1) as eluent.
