Chemistry of Diazafulvenium Methides in the Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrazoles

摘要

The chemistry of diazafulvenium methides generated by the thermal extrusion of sulfur dioxide from 2,2-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrazolo[1,5-c] [1,3]thiazoles is described. The diazafulvenium methides unsubstituted at C-7 participate in [8π + 2π] cycloadditions giving pyrazolo-annulated heterocycles resulting from the addition across the 1,7-position. 1-Methyl-diazafulvenium methides and 7,7-dimethyl-diazafulvenium methides undergo intramolecular sigmatropic [1,8]H shifts giving vinyl-1H-pyrazoles.
