Abstract

Thermal isomerization of bis(spiropyrazolone)cyclopropanes in DMSO at 100 °C results in highly efficient formation of the corresponding 4-[(pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]pyrazolones in 90–98% yields after only five minutes. NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicate stereoselective formation of the Z-isomers.
