Intramolecular Cyclization of Vinyldiazoacetates as a Versatile Route to Substituted Pyrazoles

Vinyldiazo compounds undergo a thermal electrocyclization to form pyrazoles in yields of up to 95percent. The reactions are operationally simple, use readily available starting materials, require no intervention of a catalyst, and enable the synthesis of mono-, di- A nd tri-substituted pyrazoles. With the ability to produce highly substituted pyrazoles and the flexibility in installing various types of substituents, this method constitutes a new entry to this valuable heterocyclic scaffold and may be of interest to all branches of the chemical industry.

A convenient route for the homologation of saturated esters to α,β-unsaturated esters

Methyl hexanoate (1a) is transformed to methyl 2-hydroxyheptanoate (5a) employing the following sequence of reactions (Scheme 1); (i) reaction with sodium hydride-dimethyl sulfoxide, (ii) Pummerer rearrangement with acetic anhydride-sodium acetate, (iii) alkaline hydrolysis and (iv) esterification with diazomethane.The α-hydroxy ester (5a) is converted into methyl 2E-heptenoate (7a) employing the following reactions (Scheme 2); (i) reaction with phosphorous tribromide and (ii) elimination using DBU.Thus, the sequence of reactions given in Schemes 1 and 2 provide aconvenient route for the one carbon homologation of saturated esters to α,β-unsaturated esters.
