Abstract
Seven new 1-fluorinated-4-phosphopyrazoles 2 have been prepared in 60–94% yield by cyclization of N-(2′,2′,2′-trifluoroethyl) phosphonyl β-hydrazones 1 with triethyl orthoformate in the presence of acetic acid. The IR data, the 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P chemical shifts and coupling constants of the compounds 2 are reported.
