Graphical Abstract

Silver screen: The title reaction provides a convenient and efficient method for the construction of 5-substituted 3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles under mild reaction conditions. By using this protocol, the marketed drug Celecoxib (antiarthritic) could be easily synthesized (see scheme; DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide).
