[GRAPHICS]
A variety of 2-aryl-2H-indazoles were synthesized by the palladium-catalyze
d intramolecular amination of the corresponding N-aryl-N-(o- bromobenzyl)hy
drazines. Of several sets of reaction conditions surveyed, the combination
of Pd(OAc)(2)/dppf/tBuONa gave the best results. This method applies to a w
ide scope of substrates containing electron donating and electron-withdrawi
ng substituents.
