Stereoselective synthesis of novel pyrazole derivatives using tert-butansulfonamide as a chiral auxiliary

Applications of tert-butanesulfinamide in the synthesis of N-heterocycles via sulfinimines

Chiral sulfinamides are among the best known chiral auxiliaries in the stereoselective synthesis of amines and their derivatives. The most extensively used enantiopure tert-butanesulfinamide emerged as the gold standard among many others over the last two decades. The present review attempts to provide an overview of tert-butanesulfinamide mediated asymmetric N-heterocycle synthesis via sulfinimines and covers literature from 2010-2020. This methodology offers general access to structurally diverse piperidines, pyrrolidines, azetidines, and their fused derivatives that represent the structural motif of many natural products and therapeutically applicable compounds.

A base-promoted cascade reaction of α,β-unsaturated N-tosylhydrazones with o-hydroxybenzyl alcohols: highly regioselective synthesis of N-sec-alkylpyrazoles

An efficient method for the synthesis of N-sec-alkylpyrazoles via a cascade reaction of α,β-unsaturated N-tosylhydrazones with ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohols has been developed.

Amphiphile catalysed selective synthesis of 4-amino alkylated-1H-pyrazol-5-ol via Mannich aromatization preferred to the Knoevenagel–Michael type reaction in water

An economic and efficient amphiphile (SDS) catalysed one pot synthesis of aromatized 4-amino alkylated-1H-pyrazol-5-ol via a Mannich aromatization preffered to the Knoevenagel–Michael type reaction in water has been developed.

Chemoselective synthesis of substituted pyrazoles through AgOTf-catalyzed cascade propargylic substitution-cyclization-aromatization

A cascade AgOTf-catalyzed chemoselective approach to 3,5/1,3-disubstitued pyrazoles from propargylic alcohols and para-tolylsulfonohydrazide has been developed. Good chemoselectivity is observed depending on the different substituents in the alkyne moiety of the propargylic alcohols, generating two different kinds of products through different aromatization mechanisms. The pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline skeleton can also be effectively constructed by this method through a cascade bicyclization process.

Synthesis of diversely 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles via 5-exo-dig cyclization

5-Exo-dig cyclocondensation of alk-3-yn-1-ones with hydrazines, in the presence of montmorillonite K-10, provides an effective method with a high atom economy for the synthesis of diversely 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. The microwave-accelerated reaction proceeds in the absence of solvent and leads to 5-benzyl substituted pyrazoles with good yields (72-91%). The regiochemistry of the process was confirmed by the X-ray crystallographic structure determination of 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methylbenzyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole.
