A systematic study of the N-substitution reactions of 3-substituted pyrazoles under basic conditions has been undertaken. Regioselective N1-alkylation, -arylation, and -heteroarylation of 3-substituted pyrazoles have been achieved using K 2 CO 3 -DMSO. The regioselectivity is justified by the DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G**(d) level. A consistent steric effect on chemical shift has been observed for N -alkyl pyrazole analogues. Twenty-five X-ray crystallographic structures have been obtained to confirm the regiochemistry of the major products.
