Abstract:
Three-component reaction of aldehyde, 1H-indazol-6-amine and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in EtOH under catalyst-free conditions, generates the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4-a]acridine, cyclopenta[b]pyrazolo[3,4-f]quinoline, indeno[1,2-b]pyrazolo[3,4-f]quinoline and benzo[h]pyrazolo[3,4-a]acridine derivatives in high yields and regioselectivity, respectively. The dicarbonyl compounds include 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, cyclopentane-1,3-dione, 2H-indene- 1,3-dione and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione.

Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
