Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Indazoles

Abstract

Abstract Indazoles are of considerable interest due to the broad variety of their biological activities. This overview summarizes structures of pharmacologically interesting indazoles published during the last decade, as well as syntheses, reactions, and functionalizations. Recent advances in the chemistry of N ‐heterocyclic carbenes of indazole (indazol‐3‐ylidenes) and indazolium salts are also reported.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
