Synthesis of 4-chalcogenyl pyrazoles via electrophilic chalcogenation/cyclization of α,β-alkynic hydrazones†
Abstract
A facile method for the synthesis of 4-chalcogenylated pyrazoles has been developed via electrophilic chalcogenation/cyclization of α,β-alkynic hydrazones. The cyclization of α,β-alkynic aldehyde hydrazones could be induced by using either sulfenyl chloride or the S-electrophiles generated in situ from the reaction of NCS and arythiol. The developed method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the sulfenyl analogue of celecoxib.
