An efficient palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of fluorinated aromatic pyrazol-5-ols has been developed <i>via</i> capture of the active tautomers. A wide variety of 2,5-disubstituted and 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazolidinones have been synthesized with up to 96% and 95% ee, respectively. The hydrogenation pathway includes Brønsted acid promoted tautomerization of pyrazol-5-ols and Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the active tautomer. ...[more]
