The three-stage synthesis of 4-arylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones, involving the preparation of 3-aryl-N-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)propiolamides (method D), also leads to the

Therefore, several alternative procedures were tested, and refluxing the mixture of the starting materials in DCM in an oil bath for 2–3 days with further purification gave the best results. Gratifyingly, in most cases N-(1-(2-azidophenyl)propiolamides 6 were obtained in moderate yields (Scheme 3

Performing the IAAC for internal alkynes under non-catalyzed conditions is more challenging due to the reduced reactivity of the triple
