Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen atom in the ring are very important scaffold in the synthesis of many medicinal compounds and agricultural compounds and played a crucial role in drug design. Pyrazole, indazole and pyrazolines showed many pharmacological properties which are anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antibacterial, fungicides, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tubercular, anticancer, and antipyretic. Recently, these have gained attention due to their photo-physical properties in the form of OLED devices. That is why their synthesis gained attention nowadays.
