Various tetrasubstituted pyrroles/pyrazoles have been prepared from nitro-substituted 1,3-enynes with aromatic amines/hydrazines via a copper-catalyzed cascade aza-Michael addition, cyclization and aromatization at room temperature. This protocol is also effective for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrazoles in high yields.

Abstract An efficient cycloaddition reaction of trifluoroacetohydrazonoyl bromides with nitroolefins was developed, which regioselectively produced 3‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐substituted pyrazoles. The has the advantages mild conditions, good tolerance functional groups and simple operation.

Selective synthesis of 4-(sulfonyl)-methyl-1H-pyrazoles and (E)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles from N-allenic sulfonylhydrazones with sulfonyl group migrations has been developed. A key feature of these reactions is that the migrations of the sulfonyl groups to different positions can be controlled by changing the Lewis acids.

A convenient one-pot Mannich-type-cyclization-oxidation tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles derivatives from aldehydes, hydrazines and alkynes using p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA) as a multifunctional catalyst. This method provides a flexible and rapid route to 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles are obtained via mixing ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aldehydes or ketones and malononitrile in the absence of solvent. These same products were also obtained by reacting arylidenemalononitriles 3 with 3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones. NOE difference experiments confirmed that these products exist solely in the 2H form. Similar treatments of 3-amino-2-pyrazolin-5-one ...

The olefin moiety presents in styrylsulfonylmethyl-1,2,4-triazolylamine (1) was exploited to build up five-member heterocycle-pyrazoles. series of novel pyrazolyl-1,2,4-triazole amine derivatives (2-3) have been synthesized. All the entitles compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra.

Pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds and continue to attract considerable interest due to the broad range of biological activities they possess. The incorporation of the essential structural features of pyrazoles with a ferrocene moiety could provide new derivatives with unexpected and/or enhanced biological activities since several ferr...

A novel direct transformation of hydrazones to acyloxylated pyrazoles by copper-catalyzed regioselective olefinic C(sp(2))-H bond cycloamination and acyloxylation was performed under mild conditions, which combines the formation of the pyrazole skeleton and installation of an acyloxyl group in a single step, using facile carboxylic acids as the acyloxylation reagents.

An efficient copper-mediated three-component reaction of 2,3-allenoates or 2-alkynoates, amines, and nitriles affording fully substituted pyrazoles with a very nice diversity has been developed. A tandem conjugate addition, 1,2-addition, and N-N bond formation mechanism has been proposed for this diverse synthesis of pyrazoles based on mechanistic studies.
