The Ru(II)-catalyzed regioselective[4+1] cycloaddition of azobenzenes with ethyl glyoxalate through C-H bond activation has been developed. This method provides a facile approach to various 3-carboxylate indazoles in moderate to good yields. Meantime, the kinetic isotope effect was further investigated and the results indicated that the C-H bond-breaking was possibly not involved in the rate-limiting step of this transformation.

Key words: Ru (II), C—H bond activation, cycloaddition, Indazoles
