The [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition of 4-halosydnones with 1-haloalkynes opens a straightforward access to 3,5-dihalopyrazoles, valuable scaffolds for the elaboration of unsymmetrically 3,5-substituted pyrazole derivatives via site-selective Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. For instance, the flexible introduction of different (hetero)aryl substituents at the C-5 and C-3 positions of the PMP-protected
