Abstract
Commercially available pyrazoles were alkylated and formylated in a regiocontrolled manner to give pyrazole-5-aldehydes bearing 2,2-dialkoxyethyl substitution on N-1. Subsequent deprotection and cyclization of these intermediates allowed access to pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazines with multiple substitution patterns, whereas a deprotection and double-reductive amination sequence provides 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazines.
