Recent advances in the multicomponent synthesis of pyrazoles have been reviewed. The reactions involving hydrazine, hydrazine, diazo compound, and nitrile/amine as N
N donors are summarized.
We have developed a mild and efficient electrochemical reduction approach employing aryl diazonium salts as dual synthons to synthesize valuable multi-substituted pyrazoles for the first time.
Synthesis of iodine-substituted allylic pyrazoles through NIS-mediated regioselective addition of allenamides with pyrazoles.
A strategy for preparing a series of thiomethyl/selenomethyl substituted pyrazoles through palladium-catalyzed isocyanide insertion into the C(sp)–S bond, followed by TMSN3-involved CuI/Sc(OTf)3 catalyzed intermolecular cyclization was reported.
A conceptual overview and discussions are presented to showcase the synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatics and related drugs using emerging toolboxes (photochemical synthesis, electrocatalysis and biocatalysis).
