This paper is dedicated to Professor Brindaban C. Ranu on the occasion of his 75th birthday.

Abstract

A simple, efficient, and environmentally benign method for the direct C-3-alkoxycarbonylation of 2H-indazoles using alkyl carbazates has been developed under metal-free conditions at room temperature. This current protocol represents a facile access to C-3-carboxylic ester derived 2H-indazoles with wide functional group tolerance in good to excellent yields. The mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through a radical pathway.
