Background::
Indazole is a heterocyclic motif widely used in medicinal chemistry due
to its positive photophysical properties. The development of new methods for synthesizing the indazole
scaffold is of great importance in drug discovery.
Methods::
This study presents a detailed review of current advances in indazole synthesis, focusing
on catalyst-based and green chemistry approaches. The analysis is classified based on acid-base and
transition-metal catalysts and green chemistry methods. Catalyst-based advances have given a new
impetus to the synthesis of this effective pharmacophore.
Results::
The extensive literature on indazole synthesis demonstrates the notable progress achieved
through catalyst-based approaches. These methods have enabled researchers to create a wide range
of indazole derivatives and analogs, facilitating their application in pharmaceutical products and
organic molecules. The use of acid-base and transition-metal catalysts has been particularly effective
in enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of indazole synthesis.
Conclusion::
Indazoles and their variants are widely used in pharmaceutical products and organic
molecules. The recent literature indicates that catalyst-based approaches have resulted in significant
advancements in indazole synthesis. This review may be useful for researchers in medicinal chemistry,
content chemistry, and agrochemistry.
