Abstract

In this work, a highly effective synthesis technique for obtaining aryl indazole under mild circumstances is provided, using trimethyl phosphine as a powerful reagent. The procedure shows that a wide range of substrates can be investigated, yielding various 2-aryl indazole derivatives with acceptable to exceptional yields and a wide range of functional group tolerance. Additionally, based on In Silico studies tests were conducted to determine the anticancer activity In Vitro for all produced compounds (3a-3j) against A549, HT-29 and HepG2 cell lines. Compounds 3c and 3d, with IC50 values of 15, 53.55, 7.34, 7.10, 56.28, and 17.87 (µM) against A549, HT-29 and HepG2 respectively, showed significant anticancer activity.
