1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reaction of diazo esters to electron-deficient dipolarophiles to yield the corresponding 1- or 2-pyrazolines was found to be significantly accelerated with Lewis acids (Yb(OTf)3, Sc(OTf) 3, GaCl3, EtAlCl2). The use of GaCl3 as the catalyst leads to the acceleration not only of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but also subsequent insertion of the CHCO2Me electrophilic fragment of methyl diazoacetate into the N-H bond of 2-pyrazolines formed. Such Lewis acids as SnCl4, BF3, TiCl4, and In(OTf)3 are not efficient in the described processes, since they rapidly decompose starting diazo compounds.
