Abstract
Pyrazole is the ubiquitous sub-structure of many natural products and biologically active compounds. In this respect, its regioselective synthesis drew a lot of attention from synthetic organic chemists, leading to the development of various regioselective modifications of the classical Knorr cyclocondensation reaction and alternative methods. This review covers the period of 2003 to the middle of 2009 on the regioselective synthesis of pyrazoles, which are categorized into four reaction types: (i) modified Knorr condensation reaction using 1,3-dicarbonyl surrogates; (ii) 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions approach; (iii) regioselective direct substitution reaction of the pyrazole ring system; and (iv) other methods.
Keywords: Pyrazole, regioselective dipolar cycloaddition, regioselective condensation, regioselective cross-coupling

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
