Abstract
Recent developments in the synthesis of functionalized pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines through C–H functionalization have been summarized in this account, covering the synthesis of 3-halo, 3-nitro, 3-formyl, 3-acetyl, 3-sulfenyl, 3-selenyl, and 3-thiocyanato pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and bis(pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)methanes. The main focus highlights the utilization of sustainable conditions in designing the protocols. Mechanistic aspects of these protocols have also been discussed in detail.
