Novel and facile generation of azomethine imines from alpha-silylnitrosamines and subsequent cycloaddition with dipolarophiles leading to a variety of pyrazole derivatives have been developed. The key to the reaction is a 1,4-silatropic shift caused by strong affinity of the nitroso oxygen atom toward the silicon atom. Thus, alpha-silylnitrosamines are treated with 1 equiv. of dipolarophiles in refluxing toluene for 1 h to give pyrazole derivatives in good to excellent yields. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
