Abstract
A regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of hydrazonyl chlorides with the environmentally friendly and large-tonnage industrial feedstock 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (BTP) provides 5-trifluoromethylpyrazoles. This catalyst-free reaction is operationally simple and features mild conditions, high yields, gram scalability, a broad substrate scope, and high functional group tolerance.
