“…1,2 In particular, the important role of ring-fused pyrazoles in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry is indisputable and well reflected by a large number of recent publications, 3−6 including some excellent reviews. 7,8 Most fused pyrazole compounds reported in the literature comprise a common heterocyclic ring moiety, such as pyrazolopyrimidine, 9 pyrazolopyridine, 10 pyrazoloquinoline, 11 pyrazoloindol, 12 benzofuropyrazole, 13 benzopyranopyrazole, 14 and synthetic analogues thereof. In addition, as is well known, the ring-fused isoxazole skeleton is also an important structural unit that can be found in various bioactive compounds such as those with anti-HIV, 15 antifungal, 16 and nematicidal properties.…”
