A novel synthesis of 5-perfluorophenyl 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles in THF or water
摘要:
5-Perfluorophenyl 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of perfluorobenyl 2,4,6-triisopropyl-benzenesulfonylhydrazone and alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds or acrylonitrile in THF or water. It was worthy to note that better results were obtained when water was employed as the solvent, which was considered as an effective, economic and environmentally friendly method to synthesize these pyrazole derivatives.

The complex [Ru-2(CO)(4)(mu-O2CCH2OSi(OEt)(3))(2)(PPh3)(2)] was used as a single-source precursor to prepare silica encapsulated ruthenium via hydrolysis followed by calcination. While the silica-encapsulated ruthenium catalyst and the molecular precursor both catalysed the [2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction between alkenes and ethyl diazoacetate to form cyclopropanes, the intermediate hydrolysis product partially directed the reaction towards [2 + 3] cycloaddition to form cyclic five-membered pyrazolines.
