Abstract

One-pot condensations of ketones, aldehydes and hydrazine monohydrochloride readily formed pyrazoline intermediates under mild conditions. In situ oxidation employing bromine afforded a wide variety of pyrazoles in very good yields. Alternatively, a more benign oxidation protocol affords 3,5-disubstituted or 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles by simply heating pyrazolines in DMSO under oxygen.
