Abstract

Two consecutive tandem processes are described for the regioselective, two-step synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles from alpha-hydroxyketones. The first, a tandem MnO2-mediated oxidation/Ramirez olefination reaction, provides a facile route to beta,beta-dibromo-enones. These valuable 1,3-dicarbonyl synthons can then be converted into 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles via a second tandem hydrazine condensation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Using these procedures, a range of aryl and alkyl alpha-hydroxyketones have been transformed regioselectively into 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.
