SYNTHESIS, CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, AND A DFT STUDY OF TERT-BUTYL-5-(4,4,5,5-TETRAMETHYL-1,3,2-DIOXABOROLAN-2-YL)-1H-INDAZOLE-1-CARBOXYLATE

Tert-butyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-indazole-1-carboxylate is a significant intermediate of 1H-indazole derivatives. In this paper, the title compound is acquired through two substitution reactions. The structure is corroborated by FTIR, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, and MS. In the meantime, the single crystal is detected by means of X-ray diffraction, calculated by exerting density functional theory (DFT), and subjected to the crystallographic and conformational analysis. The results of comparing the DFT calculated value with the X-ray diffraction value display that the optimized molecular structure does cohere with the single crystal structure ascertained via the experiment. The 98.28% stable conformer and 1.72% unstable conformers are found in the DFT calculations. Furthermore, to reveal the physicochemical features of the title compound, the molecular electrostatic potential and frontier molecular orbitals are investigated through DFT.
