The reaction of mercaptoacetic acid esters with pentachloro-2-nitro-1,3-butadiene (1) provides an appropriate precursor for the synthesis of special thiazolidin-4-ones. Applying different anilines as the second constituent for the requisite cyclization step, a series of (Z)-2-allylidenethiazolidin-4-ones was obtained in yields up to 81%. Some subsequent reactions have been examined too, such as...

A one-pot asymmetric Michael addition/hydroalkoxylation sequence, catalyzed by a sequential catalytic system consisting of a squaramide and a silver salt, provides a new series of chiral pyrano-annulated pyrazole derivatives in excellent yields (up to 95%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

In the title pyrazole compound, C(20)H(13)N(3)O(4), an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates a seven-membered ring, producing an S(7) ring motif. The essentially planar furan and pyrazole rings [maximum deviations of 0.002 (1) and 0.007 (1) Å, respectively] are coplanar with each other, forming a dihedral angle of 3.06 (10)°. The pyrazole ring forms dihedral angles of 8.51 (9) and 56.81...

Pyrazole-containing compounds represent one of the most influential families N-heterocycles due to their proven applicability and versatility as synthetic intermediates in preparing relevant chemicals biological, physical-chemical, material science, industrial fields. Therefore, synthesizing structurally diverse pyrazole derivatives is highly desirable, various researchers continue focus on thi...
