Efficient Synthesis of Pyrazoles: Oxidative CC/NN Bond‐Formation Cascade

Golden section: A novel synthetic strategy for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrazoles is provided. In an efficient CC/NN bond-formation cascade, enamines and nitriles are oxidatively coupled to deliver pyrazoles in good yields (see scheme). The ready availability of the starting materials, the high level of practicability of the reaction and work up, and the avoidance of hydrazine starting materials make the method attractive.
