Synthesis and analgesic activity of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles containing a diterpenoid moiety

Conjugates of terpenoids with 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles were synthesized by the cross-coupling of methyl 16-(2-chloro-2-oxoacetyl)labdatrienoate with terminal arylacetylenes via the Castro—Stephens reaction and heterocyclization of arylalkyne-1,2-diones with arylhydr-azines. The structure of one reaction product was established by X-ray diffraction. The conditions for the formation of furanolabdanoid arylalkyne-1,2-diones were found. The newly synthesized pyrazoles exhibit analgesic activity in a model of chemical irritation.

     

Synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

The reaction of 3-aminopyrazole with imidate esters such as ethyl acetimidate, gave N-(pyrazol-3-yl)acetamidine (1) rather than the isomeric 2-acetamidoyl-3-aminopyrazole. Ring closure of 1 with orthoesters such as ethyl propionimidate, afforded unsymmetrically substituted 2.4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines such as 4-ethyl-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (3). The structure of 1 was confirmed by several alternate syntheses. The unique feature of this two-step synthetic approach to the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines is that it is a convenient method of preparing fused triazines based on available pyrazoles rather than the less accessible dialkyltriazines.     

An efficient aerobic oxidative aromatization of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines and 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines

4-Substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines and 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines were oxidized to the corresponding pyridines and pyrazoles, respectively, in high yields by molecular oxygen in the presence of catalytic amount of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and Co(OAc)₂ in acetonitrile at room temperature.     

4-(p-Chloro)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione as a novel and reusable reagent for the oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines under mild conditions

4-(p-Chloro)phenyl-1,3,4-triazole-3,5-dione is used as an effective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines to their corresponding pyrazoles under mild conditions with moderate to good yields at room temperature.     

Synthesis of Novel 1,3,5-Trisubstituted Pyrazoles as Potential Hypoglycemic Agents

A novel series of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles was synthesized. Thus, ethyl 2,4-dioxo-6-phenylhex-5-enoate (I) was condensed with phenylhydrazine to afford 3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-5-styrylpyrazole (II) which on fusion with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding acid hydrazide (III). Reaction of III with the appropriate isothiocyanate yielded the disubstituted thiosemicarbazides (IVa-e) which were cyclized into thiotriazoles (Va-e), thiadiazoles (Vla-e) and oxadiazoles (VIIa-). The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was elucidated by elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR spectra.     

Mass spectra of 5-styryl and 5-acylpyrazoles

High-resolution, electron-impact, mass-spectrometric measurements have been made on three types of pyrazoles. Type 1 comprised ethyl 5-styrylpyrazole-3-carboxylates having in the α-position of the styryl group either a hydrogen atom, a methyl, or a phenyl group. Type II were 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles having phenyl (or p-substituted phenyl) groups in position 1, amide or carboxylate groups in position 3, and styryl (or α-substituted styryl) groups in position 5. Type III differed from type II in possessing a readily cleaved acyl or aroyl group instead of the styryl group. The compounds containing styryl groups gave significant ions corresponding to the formation of polycyclic heteroaromatic rings, in addition to various other fragments derived from such rings. Intensities and accurate mass-measurements are given for all ions having intensities exceeding 5% of the base peak.     

Synthesis of isomeric β-haloethylthienopyrroles

A two-step synthesis of ferrocenyl pyrazole and pyrimidine derivatives based on carbonylative Sonogashira coupling of iodoferrocene

A new method for the synthesis of 3-substituted-1-ferrocenyl-2-propyn-1-ones was developed involving carbonylative Sonogashira coupling of iodoferrocene with terminal acetylenes. New ferrocenyl 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles and 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrimidines were obtained by the addition-cyclocondensation reaction of the alkynones with hydrazines and guanidinium salts, respectively. The products were obtained with moderate to excellent yields and were characterised with various spectroscopic methods (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR IR, MS).     

Synthesis of diversely 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles via 5-exo-dig cyclization

5-Exo-dig cyclocondensation of alk-3-yn-1-ones with hydrazines, in the presence of montmorillonite K-10, provides an effective method with a high atom economy for the synthesis of diversely 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. The microwave-accelerated reaction proceeds in the absence of solvent and leads to 5-benzyl substituted pyrazoles with good yields (72-91%). The regiochemistry of the process was confirmed by the X-ray crystallographic structure determination of 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methylbenzyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole.     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazoles

Two novel 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole derivatives 7 and 8 have been prepared by hydrazinolysis with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine of 1-(benzylideneamino)-2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-2-nitromethylidene)-imidazolidine 4 . The precursor 4 was conveniently prepared from ethyl nitroacetate and 1-(benzylidene-amino)-2-(methylthio)imidazoline 3 . Two examples are presented in which ethyl aceto(and trifluoroaceto)acetate 2-nitrophenyl-hyrazone, 9 and 10 , both of which also feature the β-hydrazinoacrylate arrangement, are refluxed in ethanol containing hydrochloric acid and thereby converted into pyrazolones 11 and 12 , pyrazoles 13 and 14 , and ketone 2-nitrophenylhydrazones 15 and 16 , respectively.     

PTSA-catalyzed Mannich-type-cyclization-oxidation tandem reactions: one-pot synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted pyrazoles from aldehydes, hydrazines and alkynes

This method provides a flexible and rapid route to 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

A new and a simple approach toward synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles from chalcone arylhydrazones via oxidative cyclization has been achieved. 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone was successfully used as an oxidizing agent to give excellent yields of pyrazoles.     

Reactions of 1,3,5-triazinyl-nitroformaldoximes. 1. Interaction of 1,3,5-triazinylnitroformaldoximes with dicarbonyl compounds

Addition of enolates of dicarbonyl compounds to 1,3,5-triazinylnitrile oxides, prepared in situ from 2-R-4-R¹-1,3,5-triazin-6-ylnitroformaldoximes, led to the formation of 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles.

1,3,5-Trisubstituted hexahydrotriazines as mannich reagents. III. Preparation and cleavage of 3,4-dihydro-6-hydroxy-3-substituted-2H-1,3-benzoxazine hydrochlorides

3,4-Dihydro-6-hydroxy-3-substituted-2H-1,3-benzoxazine hydrochlorides have been prepared by the reaction of hydroquinones with novel aminomethylating reagents prepared from 1,3,5-trisubstituted hexahydrotriazines. With these monooxazine hydrochlorides is formed an equal molar amount of an amine hydrochloride. Purification leads to low yields. This difficulty has been circumvented by the use of bis(alkoxymethyl)amines in the presence of anhydrous hydrogen chlorides. The monooxazines have been hydrolyzed to yield ortho-secondary aminomethylhydro-quinone derivatives.     

Cyclization reactions of 2-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-1-(2-thienyl)ethanone

A new sulfonyl group-containing heterocyclic compound 2-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-1-(2-thienyl)ethanone 2 was prepared from the corresponding sulfide 2-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenylthio)-1-(2-thienyl)ethanone 1 . Two different cyclization reactions of the compound 2 were discussed. In contrast to the tandem alkylation-cyclization process [1], another cyclic procedure was described. In the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene as a base and dimethylformamide as a solvent, compound 2 was treated with ethyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate at 50–55° to give the 1,4-benzoxathiin 4,4-dioxide 5 or 6 respectively via a tandem Michael conjugate addition-cyclization process.     

Synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles and their hydrogenated analogs. Molecular structure of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole

Substituted 3-hydroxypyrazoles, which were prepared based on ethyl esters of substituted 4-(pyridin-2-ylthio)- or 4-(1,4-dihydropyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetic acids and hydrazine hydrate, were used in the synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The molecular and crystal structure of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis of Anti-Inflammatory Spirostene-Pyrazole Conjugates by a Consecutive Multicomponent Reaction of Diosgenin with Oxalyl Chloride,Arylalkynes and Hydrazines or Hydrazones

Steroid sapogenin diosgenin is of significant interest due to its biological activity and synthetic application. A consecutive one-pot reaction of diosgenin, oxalyl chloride, arylacetylenes, and phenylhydrazine give rise to steroidal 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles (isolated yield 46–60%) when the Stephens–Castro reaction and heterocyclization steps were carried out by heating in benzene. When the cyclization step of alkyndione with phenylhydrazine was performed in 2-methoxyethanol at room temperature, steroidal α,β-alkynyl (E)- and (Z)-hydrazones were isolated along with 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazole and the isomeric 2,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazole. The consecutive reaction of diosgenin, oxalyl chloride, phenylacetylene and benzoic acid hydrazides efficiently forms steroidal 1-benzoyl-5-hydroxy-3-phenylpyrazolines. The structure of new compounds was unambiguously corroborated by comprehensive NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, and X-ray structure analyses. Performing the heterocyclization step of ynedione with hydrazine monohydrate in 2-methoxyethanol allowed the synthesis of 5-phenyl substituted steroidal pyrazole, which was found to exhibit high anti-inflammatory activity, comparable to that of diclofenac sodium, a commercial pain reliever. It was shown by molecular docking that the new derivatives are incorporated into the binding site of the protein Keap1 Kelch-domain by their alkynylhydrazone or pyrazole substituent with the formation of more non-covalent bonds and have higher affinity than the initial spirostene core.     

Beckmann and cyclization reactions of δ-oxo-α,β-unsaturated ketoximes obtained from pyrylium salts and hydroxylamine. formation of 2-aryl(or alkyl)amino-4,6-disubstituted pyrylium salts

The reaction of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrylium salts 1 with hydroxylamine gave regio- and stereo-selectively 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-cis-pentene-1,5-dione 1-oximes 4. On cyclization, 3,5,5-trisubstituted 2-isoxazolines 6 and 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine 1-oxides 5 were obtained, originating in the antilsyn stereoisomers of oxime 4, respectively. Beckmann reaction of keto-ketoximes 4 with thionyl chloride unexpectedly gave 2-aryl (or alkyl) amino-4,6-di-substituted pyrylium salts 7, the first example of rearrangement/cyclization involving carbonylic oxygen as terminator. Crystallographic data are provided for (Z)-N-t-butyl-3,6,6-trimethyl-2-heptenecarboxamide 13b.
