N–N Bond Formation between Primary Amines and Nitrosos: Direct Synthesis of 2‑Substituted Indazolones with Mechanistic Insights

Abstract

A concise, one-step route to indazolones from primary alkyl amines and o-nitrobenzyl alcohols is reported. The key step in this readily scalable indazolone forming process involves base-mediated in situ o-nitrobenzyl alcohol → o-nitrosobenzaldehyde conversion. Although this functional group interconversion is known to be useful for 2 H-indazole synthesis, its reactivity was modulated for indazolone formation.
