Silver and zinc salts were found to efficiently catalyze the addition of an N-H bond of pyrazoles to alkynes. With silver triflate as a catalyst, two pyrazoles regioselectively attacked the same carbon atom of the C≡C bond of aliphatic terminal alkynes to give gem-dipyrazolylalkanes predominantly. Replacement of silver triflate with zinc triflate allows us to achieve double addition of pyrazoles to aromatic terminal alkynes. In contrast to the selective double addition, the corresponding single addition of aliphatic and aromatic terminal alkynes exclusively proceeded in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver nitrate. Internal alkynes also participated in the single addition reaction with the aid of silver triflate as a catalyst. The notable feature of this protocol is the utilization of an addition reaction being optimal from environmental and atom-economical points of view. The reaction mechanism is also described.
