Intramolecular reaction of the hydrazonyl group with formyl and oxo groups: preparation of pyrazolo[1,5-a]indoles and related pyrazolo compounds
Abstract
Lewis acid-catalysed intramolecular nucleophilic attack of a hydrazonyl group onto aldehyde and ketone groups gives pyrazoles and dihydropyrazoles. Pyrazolo[1,5-a]indoles and related pyrazolo compounds have also been prepared.
