Amino-4-iodopyrazoles, coupling with

Amino-4-iodopyrazoles demonstrate the lower reactivity of the iodine atom in halogenopyrazoles. Todopyrazoles 36 and 37 were coupled with p-nitrophenylace-tylene in EtsN in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 and Cul at 80°C to give good yields of the A-acetyl 4-alkynylpyrazoles (Scheme 49). 

A similar phenomenon was observed for 3-amino- and5-amino-4-iodopyrazoles. The anomalous reaction in which the products of oxidative coupling of terminal acetylenes (up to 90%) are present along with the products of deiodination (up to 90%) has been described for the first time [99JCS(P1 )3713] and will be considered below in the part related to cross-coupling of 4-iodopyrazoles.
