“…[4] Recently ourselves, [5] and others [6a] have explored the catalytic activity of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 in the activation of diazoesters leading to the formation of carbene intermediates through the elimination of N 2 . The carbene intermediate can subsequently be used as building block for the synthesis of novel organic molecules through a range of different reactions such as O−H/N−H/C−H insertion,[ 5a , 6b , 6d , 6g , 6h ] azide/carbonate transfer,[ 6e , 6f ] cyclopropanation/cyclopropenation,[ 5a , 6c ] and the ring‐opening of heterocyclic compounds. [5a] In this study, we were interested in the B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ‐catalyzed synthesis of pyrazoles from vinyl diazoacetates in which the N 2 functionality of the diazo starting material is not released.…”
