Copper-catalyzed aerobic cascade cycloamination and acyloxylation: a direct approach to 4-acyloxy-1H-pyrazoles†
Abstract
A novel direct transformation of hydrazones to acyloxylated pyrazoles by copper-catalyzed regioselective olefinic C(sp2)–H bond cycloamination and acyloxylation was performed under mild conditions, which combines the formation of the pyrazole skeleton and installation of an acyloxyl group in a single step, using facile carboxylic acids as the acyloxylation reagents.
