Abstract

A base mediated reaction of α-diazo-β-ketosulfone with nitroalkenes affords sulfonylpyrazoles as single regioisomers in excellent yield in a one-pot room temperature reaction. Aryl, heteroaryl, styrenyl, alkyl, hydroxymethyl, and hydrazinyl groups could be introduced on the pyrazole ring by the appropriate choice of nitroalkenes. Synthesis of sulfonylpyrazole fused to other heterocycles and application of the methodology to an ...
