A new and efficient method for the generation of alpha-diazoketones has been developed from arylglyoxal monohydrates and tosylhydrazine at room temperature. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions were used to constructing polyfunctional pyrazole derivatives by the reaction of generated alpha-diazoketones in situ with electron-deficient alkenes, quinones and coumarins in one pot. The one-dimensional molecular packing of 1H-benzo[f]indazole-4,9-dione derivatives along the c direction demonstrated a helical chain formation via N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding.

Convenient Access to Polyfunctional Pyrazoles via a Highly Efficient and Regioselective Multicomponent Reaction
A multicomponent reaction has been developed for the synthesis of polyfunctional pyrazole derivatives from readily available arylglyoxal monohydrates, tosylhydrazine, and aldehydes or ketones. This synthetic method has significant advantages in broad substrate scope, excellent regioselectivity, and simple operation.
