Studies on heteroaromaticity. XV . the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 5-nitro-2-furyldiazomethane

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 5-nitro-2-furyldiazomethane ( 1 ) with acrylonitrile, acrylamide, methyl acrylate, diethyl fumarate, methyl methacrylate and methyl cinnamate afforded the corresponding 3-substituted pyrazolines. ( 2a-f ). Similarly the pyrazoles ( 3b-d ) were prepared by addition of 1 to acetylenic compounds such as diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, methyl phenylpropiolate and cyanoacetylene. Reaction of 1 with fumaronitrile and ω-nitro-styrene gave also the corresponding pyrazoles ( 3a and 3e ) instead of the pyrazolines. 3-(5′-Nitro-2′-furyl)-4-phenyl-5-carbomethoxypyrazoline ( 2f ) was oxidized with lead tetraacetate to the corresponding pyrazole ( 3f ), which was different from 3c , an addition product of 1 with methyl phenylpropiolate. 3-(5′-Nitro-2′-furyl)-5-carbamidopyrazoline ( 2b ) was pyrolyzed to the corresponding cyclopropane derivative 4 in low yield.     

Synthesis of polyfluoroalkyl-containing 1-(4-acetoxybutyl)- and 1-(4-hydroxybutyl)pyrazoles and their tuberculostatic activity

Alkylation of polyfluoroalkyl-containing pyrazoles with 4-bromobutyl acetate in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate leads to a mixture of isomeric 1-(4-acetoxybutyl)-3-fluoroalkyl- and 1-(4-acetoxybutyl)-5-fluoroalkylpyrazoles, which in a number of cases were successfully separated by HPLC. Deacylation in acidic medium with gaseous hydrogen chloride and in basic medium with gaseous ammonia leads to 1-(4-hydroxybutyl)pyrazoles, which manifest moderate tuberculostatic activity.

Unusual formation of hydroperoxides in the reactions of substituted spiro[pyrazolinecyclopropanes]

3-Cyano- and 3-(alkoxycarbonyl)spiro[2-pyrazoline-5,1’-cyclopropane] and 5-phenylspiro[1-pyrazoline-3,1’-cyclopropane] undergo unusual transformations into 3(5)-substituted 5(3)-(2-hydroperoxyethyl)pyrazoles in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

Heterocycles of biological importance. Part 2. Novel synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 5-amino-3-alkyl-1-(2-pyridyl)pyrazoles and 5-amino-3-phenyl-1-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole from allenic or acetylenic nitriles and 2-hydrazinopyridine

2-Hydrazinopyridine reacts with allenic and acetylenic nitriles to give 5-amino-3-alkyl-1-(2-pyridyl)pyrazoles 6 in excellent yields. One of these compounds, 6e has been shown to possess anticonvulsant and anti-electroshock properties.

Distinguishing Features of reactions of 2-chloro-and 2,2-dichloro(bromo)vinyl ketones with alkyl-and arylhydrazines

2-Chlorovinyl alkyl ketones react with alkylhydrazines to give mixtures of 1-R-3-R′- and 1-R-5-R′-pyrazoles: The 1-R-3-R′-pyrazoles form through the heterocyclization of 2-chlorovinyl ketone alkylhydrazones whereas in the heterocyclization into 1-R-5-R′-pyrazoles N ¹-alkyl-N ²-(2-acylvinyl)hydrazines are involved. The regiospecific heterocyclization of 2-chloro-and 2,2-dichlorovinyl ketones with arylhydrazines and also of 2,2-dichloro(bromo)vinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with C alkylhydrazines into pyrazoles and 5-chloro(bromo)-pyrazoles proceeds through a stage of haloenones hydrazones formation. The study of the structure of the obtained 1-alkyl-3(5)-alkylpyrazoles by means of two-dimenaional ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS method made it possible to assign the proton and carbon signals of isomeric pyrazoles and to establish the diagnostic ions for the pair of 1,3-and 1,5-isomers.     

Syntheses of Heterocycles from the Sodium Salts of 3-(1-Adamantyl)-1-hydroxy-1-propen-3-one and 4-(1-Adamantyl)-1-hydroxy-1-buten-3-one

The transformation scheme includes recyclization during acylation with trifluoroacetic anhydride leading to the formation of 1-aryl-3-phenyl-5-(o-trifluoroacetylaminoanilino)pyrazoles, which then undergo hydrazinolysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1002–1006, July, 2005.     

Synthesis and spectra of new 3-carbethoxypyrazole sulfonylurea derivatives

The reaction of 1-benzenesulfonyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-[α-substituted-styryl]pyrazoles (1) with isocyanate and thioisocyanate derivatives yield the corresponding benzenesulfonylurea derivatives ( 2 and 3 ). Bromination of 1 afforded the 4-bromopyrazoles 4 which react with isocyanate derivatives giving 5 that were also obtained by bromination of 2 . Alkaline hydrolysis of the benzensulfonylurea derivatives 2 yield the corresponding pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids 7 .     

Synthesis and tautomeric structure of 3,7-bis(arylazo)-6-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazoles in ground and excited states

Three series of 3,7-bis(arylazo)-6-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazo-[1,2-b]pyrazoles were prepared starting from N-aryl 2-oxo-2-phenylethanehydrazonoyl bromides and 5-amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl pyrazoles. The acid dissociation constants pK and pK^* in both the ground and excited states, respectively, were determined and correlated with the Hammett equation. The results of such correlations together with the spectroscopic data indicated that the title compounds exist predominantly in the 1H-bis(arylazo) form in both ground and excited states.     

New flexible synthesis of pyrazoles with different,functionalized substituents at C3 and C5

Syntheses of pyrazoles featuring a functionalized side chain attached to carbon 3 and varying alkyl and aryl substituents attached to carbon 5 are presented. Installation of R = methyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, adamantyl, or phenyl groups at C5 is reported here, starting by coupling protected alkynols with acid chlorides RCOCl, forming alkynyl ketones, which are reacted with hydrazine to form the pyrazole nucleus. Alcohol deprotection and conversion to a chloride gave 5-substituted 3-(chloromethyl)- or 3-(2-chloroethyl)pyrazoles. This sequence can be done within 2 d on a 30 g scale in excellent overall yield. Through nucleophilic substitution reactions, the chlorides are useful precursors to other polyfunctional pyrazoles. In the work here, derivatives with side chains LCH(2)- and LCH(2)CH(2)- at C3 (L = thioether or phosphine) were made as ligands. The significance of the ligands made here is that by placing a ligating side chain on a ring carbon (C3), rather than on a ring nitrogen, the ring nitrogen not bound to the metal and its attached proton will be available for hydrogen bonding, depending on the steric environment created by R at C5.
