Domino reaction of a gold catalyzed 5-endo-dig cyclization and a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement towards polysubstituted pyrazoles

Org Biomol Chem. 2018 Dec 12;16(48):9359-9363. doi: 10.1039/c8ob02807a.

Abstract

Pyrazoles are important heterocyclic compounds with a broad range of biological activities. A new procedure toward tri- or tetrasubstituted pyrazoles has been developed, via a one-pot gold catalyzed synthesis from hydrazines with alkynyl aldehydes or ketones. The reaction proceeds through consecutive hydrazone formation, 5-endo-dig cyclization and an aza-Claisen rearrangement resulting in the desired polysubstitued pyrazoles.
