Abstract
Abstract Indazoles are a very important class of N‐containing heterocycles with a wide range of biological and medicinal properties. The presence of different functionalities on indazole moieties enhances its biological activities. Hence, the preparation of indazole compounds bearing functional groups has gained a significant interest to the organic synthetic chemists. A large effort has been made to develop efficient and new methods for the functionalization of indazoles. Direct catalytic functionalization is a very powerful tool for facile synthesis of important indazole derivatives due to its straightforwardness. This review summarizes developments on direct functionalizations of indazoles published in the last two decades. magnified image
