The novel chemical reagent, C2 F5 CHN2 , is generated in situ from C2 F5 CH2 NH2 ⋅HCl and sodium nitrite. It reacts with mono- and disubstituted electron-deficient alkenes at room temperature to afford C2 F5 -pyrazolines in excellent yields.
Keywords: cycloaddition; diazo compounds; fluorine; in situ generation; pyrazolines.
