Abstract

Synthesis of pyrazoles via electrophilic cyclization of α,β-alkynic hydrazones by copper(I) iodide is described. When treated with copper(I) iodide in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing acetonitrile, α,β-alkynic hydrazones, prepared readily from hydrazines and propargyl aldehydes and ketones, undergo electrophilic cyclization to afford pyrazole derivatives in good to excellent yields. The reaction appears to be general for a variety of α,β-alkynic hydrazones and tolerates the presence of aliphatic, aromatic, and ferrocenyl moieties with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents.
