Abstract: | The Vilsmeier formylation of 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole and its 6-phenyl derivative gives 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles. Reactions of these derivatives with different N- and C-nucleophilic agents, including bisnucleophiles, were studied as a means of obtaining new 4- and 5-functional derivatives of indazole and its condensed systems.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia.
