Diazo compounds have also been used as precursors in the preparation of pyrazoles and indazoles. The copper-promoted cycloaddition reaction of lithium acetylides 18 with diazocarbonyl compounds 19 provided a direct and efficient approach to the synthesis of pyrazoles 20 <07AG(I)3242>. A facile, efficient, and general method for the synthesis of 1-arylated indazoles 22 and A-unsubstituted indazoles 23 by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzynes, generated from 21, with diazomethane derivatives has been reported <07AG(I)3323>. Reaction of diazo(trimethylsilyl)methylmagnesium bromide with aldehydes or ketones gave 2-diazo-2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanols, which were applied to the synthesis of di- and trisubstituted pyrazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with ethyl propiolate or dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate <07S3371>. 

Diazonium intermediates have also been employed in the synthesis of pyrazoles. A convenient one-pot procedure for the preparation of 3-phenyl- or 3-pyridylpyrazoles 27 from the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of phenylacetylene or 3-(pyridyl)acetylene with diazo compounds 26 generated in situ from aldehydes 25 has been reported <03JOC5381>. Cyclization of ortho-(arylethynyl)benzene diazonium salts 28 having substituents at the para-position of the aryl ring furnished indazoles 29 <03TL5453>. 

Annulation Reactions. Larock et al. have described the synthesis of different heterocyclic systems using a [3+2] annulation approach. For instance, pharmaceutically important pyrido[l,2-fl]indole derivatives such as 93 are easily accessible from 2-substituted pyridines and aryne precursors (Scheme 12.48) [83]. More recently, the 1/f-indazole skeleton has been accessed through a [3+2] annulation from arynes and hydrazones. The reaction with Al-arylhy-drazones leads to 1,3-disubstituted indazoles 94 through an annulation-oxidation process (Scheme 12.48). The use of iV-tosylhydrazones also affords 3-substituted-Ai(H)-indazoles, although probably via a [3+2] cycloaddition (see Scheme 12.18) with in situ generated diazo compounds [84].
