Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of N-protected tribromopyrazoles. Efficient and site-selective synthesis of 3,4,5-triaryl-pyrazoles, 3,5-diaryl-4-bromopyrazoles and 5-aryl-3,4-dibromopyrazoles

Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of N-protected tribromopyrazoles were studied. The reactions proceed with excellent site-selectivity. The first attack occurs at position 5, while the second and third attack occur at positions 3 and 4, respectively. A variety of 3,4,5-triaryl-pyrazoles, 3,5-diaryl-4-bromopyrazoles, and 5-aryl-3,4-dibromopyrazoles were efficiently prepared. The products are not readily available by other methods.
