The [4+3] annulation reaction of crotonate-derived sulfur ylides with benzylidenepyrazolones using K2CO3 as the base is reported. The ready availability of starting materials and the simple cyclization procedure make this approach suitable for the preparation of a diverse array of 4,7-dihydro-1H-oxepino[2,3-c]pyrazoles in good to excellent yields.
