Abstract
An unprecedented ruthenium(II)-catalyzed oxidative C-N coupling method enables a facile intramolecular synthesis of various synthetically challenging tri- and tetrasubstituted pyrazoles in the presence of oxygen as oxidant. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, functional group tolerance, and high yields.
