SummaryA synthesis of (±)-cherylline dimethyl ether is reported. The key steps involved are Michael-type addition, radical azidonation of an aldehyde, Curtius rearrangement, and reduction of an isocyanate intermediate followed by Pictet–Spengler cyclization.

A facile synthesis of novel 7-alkynylindazole derivatives involving the Pd/C-PPh 3 -CuI catalysed Sonogashira coupling of 7-iodoindazole with a wide range of terminal alkynes in aqueous medium is reported. An X-ray crystallographic study established the molecular structure of 7-(pent-1-ynyl)-1H-indazole.
