One-pot to fused pyrazoles by a double cyclization of o-alkynylaldehydes with ketones and hydrazine under metal-free condition

Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of fused pyrazoles has been developed. The procedure involved three components reaction of o-alkynylaldehydes 1a–s with ketones 2a–m and hydrazine under mild, metal-free reaction conditions. The desired products were obtained in one-step up to 85% yield. The molecular structure was confirmed by the X-ray crystallographic analysis.
