Catalyst-free one-pot synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol

A simple, efficient and three component one-pot synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles by condensation of β-dicarbonyls, N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) and hydrazine derivatives in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol without using any catalyst and activation, is described.
