Synthesis of ditopic ligands containing bis(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-1-yl)-methane fragments

New approaches have been proposed for the synthesis of compounds containing two bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methane fragments. Nucleophilic replacement of the halogen atoms in appropriate tetrabromo derivatives by pyrazoles in the superbasic system KOH-DMSO gave ditopic chelating ligands: 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethane, 1,4-bis[bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene, and 1,4-bis[bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene. 1,4-Bis[bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene was also synthesized by reaction of 1H-pyrazole with terephthalaldehyde in the presence of thionyl chloride. 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethane was converted into the corresponding tetraiodo and tetranitro derivatives.     

Fragmentation of pyrazolecarbaldehyde thio- and dithioacetals under electron impact and chemical ionization

The mass spectra of 1-substituted 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde bis(2-hydroxyethyl) dithioacetals and thioacetals were studied for the first time. The main fragmentation pathways of their molecular ions generated under electron impact and chemical ionization were similar. Primary decomposition of the molecular ions of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) dithioacetals involves elimination of 2-sulfanylethanol molecule with formation of the corresponding 1,3-oxathiolane radical cation. Fragmentation of the molecular ions [M]⁺ · and [M + H]⁺ derived from 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,4,6-oxadithiocanes includes cleavage of the eight-membered heteroring and elimination of C₄H₉OS ·. Substituents in the heteroring of pyrazolecarbaldehydes inhibit decomposition processes related to the aldehyde group.     

Vilsmeier-Haak formylation of 3,5-dimethylpyrazoles

Formylation of N-alkyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazoles according to Vilsmeier-Haak led to the formation of the corresponding 4-formyl derivatives. 3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazole having no substituent on the nitrogen atom failed to undergo formylation at the 4 position under analogous conditions. 3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde was synthesized by alkaline hydrolysis of methyl β-(4-formyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propionate and subsequent heating of the acid thus formed.     

Replacement of dimethylpyrazolyl group in 1,2,4,5-tetrazines by aliphatic alcohols and water

Reactions of 3,6-bis(4-R-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines and 3-amino-6-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines with aliphatic alcohols and water in the presence of a base involved replacement of the dimethylpyrazolyl group and resulted in the formation of mono- and dialkoxy-1,2,4,5-tetrazines and 6-substituted 3-hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrazines. Dissociation constants of the latter were determined by potentiometric titration.     

Utilization of DmbNHNH2 in the synthesis of amino-substituted 4-((3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)diazenyl)phenols

(2,4-Dimethoxybenzyl)hydrazine (DmbNHNH₂) was utilized in the synthesis of Dmb-protected 4-((3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)diazenyl)phenols. This unambiguous protection of the pyrazole endocyclic nitrogen atom enabled the preparation of amino-substituted 4-((3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazol-4yl)diazenyl)phenols that were inaccessible through direct substitution. The Boc group could be selectively cleaved in the presence of the Dmb group.     

Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Powder-Catalyzed Stereoselective Synthesis of N-Vinyl Pyrazoles in Solvent-Free Conditions

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates, which are produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, by 3,5-dimethylpyrazol leads to vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo a Michael addition reaction with a conjugate base to produce dialkyl 2-(3,5-dimethyl1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)butanedioates. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate powder was found to catalyze the stereoselective conversion of dialkyl 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphoranylidene) butanedioates to dialkyl 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-butenedioates in solvent-free conditions under microwave (0.6 KW, 3 min) and thermal (90°C, 60 min) conditions.     

Facile microwave-assisted synthesis of bis-pyrazol pyrimidine derivatives via an <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-alkylation reaction

Abstract  

We present herein a new and efficient method for synthesis of bis-pyrazol pyrimidine derivatives by N-alkylation using a microwave-assisted synthetic process. Two new compounds, N-(4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl nicotinonitrile and 2,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methyl nicotinonitrile, were synthesized by the N-alkylation reaction. The novel compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, etc. The microwave-assisted procedures have noteworthy advantages in terms of thermal efficiency over those carried out by conventional heating methods.

In complexes 1 and 2, the Fe(III) is pentacoordinated with three Fe-N interactions from the pincer ligand and two coordinated chloride anions in the inner sphere, and FeCl₄¯ in the outer sphere. Complex 3 is comprised of one protonated ligand as cationic part, one FeCl₄¯ anion, and one neutral ^bisMorphPT molecule in addition to two crystallized water molecules. Analysis of molecular packing using Hirshfeld calculations indicated that H…H and Cl…H are the most important in the molecular packing. They comprised 40.1% and 37.4%, respectively in 1 and 32.4% and 37.8%, respectively in 2. Complex 1 exhibited the most bioactivity against the tested microbes while 3 had the lowest bioactivity. The ^bisMorphPT and ^MorphBPT were inactive towards the tested microbes while ^PipBPT was active. As a whole, the Fe(III) complexes have enhanced antibacterial and antifungal activities as compared to the free ligands.

On the basis of methyl esters of 2-aryl-5-hydrazino-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids the earlier unknown methyl esters of 2-aryl-5-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids as well as their functional derivatives were synthesized. The latter were used for further transformations, in particular, for introducing the residues of highly basic aliphatic amines into the 5 position of oxazole, and the oxazol-2-yl moiety into the 4 position of the oxazole ring.

The complexes MLX₂ show weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the M²⁺ ions.

A novel reaction between 3- and 3,5-substituted pyrazoles with selenium dioxide proceeds with formation of bis(3R,5R′-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)selenides in high yield. On this basis, an efficient one-pot synthetic procedure has been developed. In the case of the unsubstituted pyrazole a selenonium compound has been obtained. The identity and structure of the isolated selenium derivatives have been confirmed by spectral methods and their molecular structures investigated by X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis and reactions of pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes

1-, 3-, and 5-Alkylpyrazoles, as well as linearly bridged bis-pyrazoles, were converted into the corresponding 4-formyl derivatives by Vilsmeier-Haak reaction both under standard conditions and under microwave activation in DMF over a period of 10 min. 1,1′-(Hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) and 1,1′-(benzene-1,4-diyldimethylene)bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) gave rise to 4-formyl derivatives at both pyrazole rings. 5-Chloro-1,3-dialkyl-1H-pyrazoles failed to undergo formylation according to Vilsmeier-Haak or under microwave activation. 1,1′-Bridged bis-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazoles reacted with 2-sulfanylethanol on heating in the presence of chloro(trimethyl)silane to give the corresponding bridged bis-4-(1,4,6-oxadithiocan-5-yl)-1H-pyrazoles.     

Linker extension through hard-soft selective metal coordination for the construction of a non-rigid metal-organic framework

A metal-organic framework (MOF) has been obtained by using a linker extension strategy. Three di-anions of 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-benzoic acid coordinate to three Cu(I) ions forming an extended trigonal planar ligand, which links three di-copper paddlewheel units giving rise to a Pt₃O₄ net.     

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with NH-azoles

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione, 3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazole, 2,4,5-tribromoimidazole, and 2-chlorobenzimidazole lead to the formation of 5-azolylmethyl-2-bromo-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles. In the case of 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione the intermediate thiolate anion undergoes cyclization into 7-[(3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. The structure of reaction products depends on the relative rate of substitution of leaving groups in the reagents.     

Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic application of a zinc(II) complex bearing a pyrazole-based ligand

The reaction between ZnCl₂ and N,N-bis[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-1-phenylethylamine (bdmppea) affords [(bdmppea)ZnCl₂], whose structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The [(bdmppea)ZnEt₂] complex in situ prepared by the reaction between [bdmppea] and ZnEt₂ exhibited high activity toward the polymerization reaction of rac-lactide at room temperature. However, its activity decreased sharply with decreasing temperature. Stereospecificity of this catalyst characterized by heterotacticity (P_r) was determined by homonuclear decoupled NMR spectroscopy, which value was ∼0.58.     

New N-pyrazole, P-phosphinite hybrid ligands and corresponding Rh(I) complexes: X-ray crystal structures of complexes with [Rh, N, P-phosphinite, Cl, (CO)] core

Two new N-pyrazole, P-phosphinite hybrid ligands 3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propyldiphenylphosphinite (L³) and 2-(3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyldiphenylphosphinite (L⁴) are presented. The reactivity of these ligands and two other ligands reported in the literature (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyldiphenylphosphinite (L¹) and 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyldiphenylphosphinite (L²) towards [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ (1) have been studied and complexes [RhCl(CO)L] (L = L² (2), L³ (3) and L⁴ (4)) have been obtained. For L¹ only decomposition products have been achieved. All complexes were fully characterised by analytical and spectroscopic methods and the resolution of the crystalline structure of complexes 2 and 3 by single-crystal X-ray diffraction are also presented. In these complexes, the ligands are coordinated via κ²(N,P) to Rh(I), forming metallocycles of seven (2 and 4) or eight (3) members and finish its coordination with a carbonyl monoxide and a trans-chlorine to phosphorus atom. In both complexes, weak intermolecular interactions are present. NMR studies of complexes 2-4 show the chain N-(CH₂)_x-O becomes rigid and the protons diastereotopic.     

Complex formation of PdCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> with 1-substituted 3,5-dimethylpyrazoles

Herein the synthesis of 3-(3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)butanal oxime (L) and its complex formation with PdCl₂ is studied. IR and 1Н NMR spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray diffraction analysis (СIF file CCDC no. 1531058) elucidate that the nitrogen atoms N(4) and N(15) from pyrazole and imine group of oxime respectively, participate in coordination with PdCl₂. Moreover, primarily thermal stability test shows that [PdCl₂(L)] complex (I) is quite stable at moderate temperatures and intense decomposition of latter occurs ca 200–210°C. As a consequence of thermal decomposition, both volatile ligand and its dehydration by-product 3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)butanenitrile are formed. Afterwards, the anticonvulsant properties of PdCl₂, L, and I are of interest and well studied in this section.     

Novel one-dimensional polymeric Cu(II) complexes via Cu(II)-assisted hydrolysis of the 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine pincer ligand: Synthesis,structure, and antimicrobial activities

Two unexpected one-dimensional coordination polymers, [Cu(PT)(H₂O)Cl]_n 1 and [Cu₂(BPT)(ClO₄)₃(H₂O)₄]_n·2nH₂O 2 , of symmetrical triazine-based ligands were synthesized by Cu(II)-mediated hydrolysis of the 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine ( MBPT ) pincer ligand. The reaction of Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O with MBPT proceeded via hydrolysis of the methoxy group to produce the dicompartmental 4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-one ligand ( HBPT ) that then undergoes in situ complexation with Cu(II) to afford 2 . In case of CuCl₂, the reaction proceeds further with C–N cleavage of one pyrazolyl unit leading to the formation of 6-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ligand ( HPT ) that also undergoes in situ complexation with Cu(II) affording 1 . The role of Cu(II) is to increase the Lewis acid reactivity of the water molecule where similar hydrolytic reactions for MBPT were observed in acidic medium in presence of an aqueous HCl (1:1 v/v) solution. The molecular and supramolecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 were investigated using X-ray diffraction of single crystal, Hirshfeld analysis, and density functional theory calculations. The Cl…H (11.7%) and O…H (24.7%) contacts are the most important in 1 , whereas the molecular packing of 2 is controlled mainly by the O…H (58.7%) hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 showed better activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans compared with the standard antibiotics amoxicillin, tetracycline, and ampicillin. In general, complexes 1 and 2 showed good antimicrobial activity than these antibiotics and have the advantage to be used as both antibacterial and antifungal agents.
