“…Nitrogen heterocycles are the essential structural elements widely ubiquitous in pharmaceutical chemistry, ( Vitaku et al, 2014 ; Bhutani et al, 2021 ; Ma et al, 2021a ), organic chemistry, ( Chen et al, 2021 ; Darroudi et al, 2021 ; Jiang et al, 2021 ; Meng et al, 2021 ; Qu et al, 2021 ; Wang and Wang, 2021 ; Chen and Xuan, 2022 ; Gao et al, 2022 ; Wu et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ), and material chemistry ( Huang and Yu, 2021 ). Among these, 2 H -indazole is one of the most important heterocycles, existing in various drugs and bioactive molecules ( Figure 1 ).…”
