of 4-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles have been prepared via the copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene with a variety of N-arylsydnone derivatives under mild conditions. This new protocol under optimized reaction conditions [Cu(OTf)2/phen, DBU, CH3CN, 35 °C] afforded 4-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles in moderate to excellent yields with excellent regioselectivity.
The present invention provides a compound of Formula (I)
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein R1, R2, R3, A1, A2, A3, A4, L, B1, B2, B3 and B4 are as defined herein. The compounds of Formula I have been found to act as glucagon antagonists or inverse agonists. Consequently, the compounds of Formula I and the pharmaceutical compositions thereof are useful for the treatment of diseases, disorders, or conditions mediated by glucagon.
