Zinc-promoted cyclization of tosylhydrazones and 2-(dimethylamino)malononitrile: an efficient strategy for the synthesis of substituted 1-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jul 27;53(61):8545-8548. doi: 10.1039/c7cc04610c.

Abstract

A Zn(OTf)2-promoted cyclization reaction of tosylhydrazones with 2-(dimethylamino)malononitrile has been successfully developed providing an efficient strategy for the synthesis of substituted 1-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles.
