The synthesis of 1-unsubstituted and 1-phenyl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazoles from the reaction of 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-alken-2-ones [CF 3 C(O)CH=C(R 1 )OR, where R = Me, Et and R 1 = H, Me, Ph] with hydrazines [NH 2 NHR 2 , where R 2 = H, Ph] in pressurized carbon dioxide is reported for the first time. Reaction conditions such as pressure, temperature and time were evaluated. The methodology developed herein was suitable to synthesize products in moderate to excellent yields (60 % -96 %) and short reaction times (15 -45 min).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
