The reaction between a 1-azido-(2-halogenomethyl)benzene and a phosphine gives different products depending on the nature of the halogen, the phosphine itself, and the solvent employed. While PPh 3 (2 equiv) reacts with the chloro reagent in toluene to give the expected iminophosphorane-phosphonium adduct, trialkylphosphines (PCy 3 and PE 3 ) surprisingly furnish an aminophosphonium substituted by a zwitterionic indazole. The bicyclic product can also form from PPh 3 using the bromo reagent in acetonitrile. A mechanism is proposed for this cyclization based on DFT calculations.
