A facile and efficient oxidative C?H acylation of N-substituted pyrazolones using α-oxocarboxylic acids as an acyl group source was developed. A combination of Cu(OAc)2 and K2S2O8 enables the reaction to proceed smoothly under air and provides a wide array of 4-acylpyrazolone products in moderate to excellent yields. The mechanism of this transformation is believed to proceed via a copper-induced decarboxylation to form the acyl-copper species. This method provides a convenient and useful route for a direct installation of an acyl moiety into bioactive pyrazolone derivatives, which can be further utilized in many applications.
