C3-substituted 1H-indazoles are useful and important substructures in many pharmaceuticals. Methods for direct C3-functionalization of indazoles are relatively rare, compared to reactions developed for the more nucleophilic N1 and N2 posi-tions. Herein, we report a highly C3-selective allylation reaction of 1H-N-(benzoyloxy)indazoles using CuH catalysis. A variety of C3-allyl 1H-indazoles with quaternary stereocenters were efficiently prepared with high levels of enantioselectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explain the reactivity differences between indazole and indole electrophiles, the latter of which was used in our previously reported method. The calculations suggest that the indazole al-lylation reaction proceeds through an enantioselectivity-determining six-membered Zimmerman-Traxler-type transition state, rather than an oxidative addition/reductive elimination sequence, as we proposed in the case of indole alkylation. The enanti-oselectivity of the reaction is governed by both ligand-substrate steric interactions and steric repulsions involving the pseu-doaxial substituent in the six-membered allylation transition state.C3-substituted 1H-indazoles are useful and important substructures in many pharmaceuticals.
