We report a method for directed ortho -arylation of N -aryl pyrazoles with arylboronic acids. Reactions proceeded in the presence of a Co(hfacac) 2 catalyst, CeSO 4 oxidant, and HFIP solvent. Functionalities such as nitro, ester, bromo, and ketone groups were compatible with the reaction conditions. Using heterocycles including thiophene and carbazole was also feasible.
