Abstract
In a single-step method for the synthesis of aminopyrazoles from isoxazoles, hydrazine serves to open the isoxazole to the unisolated ketonitrile intermediate and form the aminopyrazole. The two-step process involves ring opening of the isoxazole by deprotonation with hydroxide to generate the ketonitrile followed by the addition of acetic acid and hydrazine to form the aminopyrazole.
