Abstract

Abstract Fluoroalkyl hydrazonoyl halides are typically used as nitrile–imine 1,3-dipole precursors, whereas their carbon-centered reactivity remains underdeveloped. Herein we report a base-promoted formal [1 + 4] annulation of α-halo acylhydrazone-derived azoalkenes with fluoroalkyl hydrazonoyl halides, providing CF2H- and CF3-substituted pyrazolines. Control experiments, time-course NMR, Fukui function/dual-descriptor analysis, and DFT calculations support a stepwise polarity-matched C–C bond-forming/cyclization pathway.
