Oxone®-promoted one-pot synthesis of 1-aryl-4-(organylselanyl)-1H-pyrazoles

Abstract

We describe herein an efficient protocol for the one-pot synthesis of 4-organylselanylpyrazoles by direct cyclocondensation and C-H bond selenylation reactions starting from hydrazines, 1,3-diketones and diorganyl diselenides promoted by Oxone®. The products were obtained through a metal catalyst free methodology, under mild conditions, in short reaction times and moderate to excellent yields.
