Indazole is an aromatic heterocycle and forms the basic structure of a few natural substances (nigellicin, nigellidine and nigeglanin from Nigella sp. ).
Occurrence
Derivatives of indazole occur rarely in nature. Nigellicin, nigeglanin and nigellidine are natural substances that contain the indazole ring. Nigellicin is an alkaloid from Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) and belongs to the substance class of the mesomeric betaines. Nigeglanin was isolated from Nigella glandulifera .
presentation
The indazoles are produced, for example, via the Jacobson indazole synthesis (see scheme below).
use
Indazole is important for the production of certain dyes . Derivatives of indazole are also of interest in pharmacology. 1-Benzyl-3- (3-dimethylaminopropoxy) -1 H -indazole ( benzydamine ) is used for painful inflammation of the mucous membranes because of its local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effects .
