Abstract

A simple and novel methodology for the synthesis of 3-perfluoroalkylated-2H-indazole derivatives has been elaborated. The perfluoroalkylation of readily available 2-nitrobenzaldimines bearing electron donating groups was performed using the Ruppert-Prakash reagent and its analogues to afford α-difluoromethylated, α-trifluoromethylated and α-pentafluoroethylated benzylamines. A final reductive cyclization mediated by SnCl2·2H2O led to 2H-indazoles containing perfluoroalkyl groups via the generation of a new N–N bond in moderate to good yields.
