The synthesis of 2-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines from N-iminopyridinium ylides is described. These medicinally interesting compounds are formed through a cascade process involving a palladium-catalyzed direct alkenylation reaction followed by silver-mediated cyclization. The reaction can be performed with a wide range of electron-poor and electron-rich alkenyl iodides in good yields. This work represents perhaps the most direct route for the preparation of these compounds.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010165	Palladium	A chemical element having an atomic weight of 106.4, atomic number of 46, and the symbol Pd. It is a white, ductile metal resembling platinum, and following it in abundance and importance of applications. It is used in dentistry in the form of gold, silver, and copper alloys.
D011720	Pyrazoles	Azoles of two nitrogens at the 1,2 positions, next to each other, in contrast with IMIDAZOLES in which they are at the 1,3 positions.
D011725	Pyridines	Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D002384	Catalysis	The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction.	Catalyses
D003500	Cyclization	Changing an open-chain hydrocarbon to a closed ring. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)	Cyclizations
D000475	Alkenes	Unsaturated hydrocarbons of the type Cn-H2n, indicated by the suffix -ene. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p408)	Alkene,Olefin,Olefins,Pentene,Pentenes
D012834	Silver	An element with the atomic symbol Ag, atomic number 47, and atomic weight 107.87. It is a soft metal that is used medically in surgical instruments, dental prostheses, and alloys. Long-continued use of silver salts can lead to a form of poisoning known as ARGYRIA.
