A two-stage method for the preparation of 2-(3-carboxymethylindazol-1-yl)anilines using the N-arylation reaction of 3-carboxymethylindazoles with o-nitrohaloarenes and subsequent reduction of nitro-containing intermediates with tin(II) chloride was developed. The experimental results showed that the use of the synthesized compounds as fluorophores in the visible region of the spectrum is promising.
