Dj. Jeon et al., SYNTHESIS OF NEW 4-BENZOYL-5-HYDROXY-3-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES VIA [1,3] REARRANGEMENTS OF BENZOYL GROUP USING TERT-BUTYLLITHIUM, Synthetic communications, 28(12), 1998, pp. 2159-2166
The l-3-trifluoromethyl-5-p-toluenesulfonyloxypyrazole derivatives (7a
- c) were synthesized by a new procedure involving rearrangement of t
he benzoyl groups in 5-benzoyloxy-4-bromo-3-trifluoromethylpyrazole de
rivatives (5a - c) to 4-benzoyl-5-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles (
6a - c) via lithium-bromide exchange using tert-butyllithium.
