Abstract

Isoxazoles bearing alkyl or carbamoyl groups were transformed into the corresponding pyrazoles in high yields by the treatment with hydrazine in methanol in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, eg, Raney nickel, at ambient temperature. For the synthesis of N- substituted pyrazoles, hydrogenolysis of isoxazole followed by the treatment with substituted hydrazine was required. 3 (5)-Aryl-or acylamido-substituted isoxazoles are less suitable ...
