Pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrazole‐4,6‐diones, pyrazoles, pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazines, and pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyrimidines were prepared via 1‐bromo‐2‐(5‐chlorobenzofuran‐2‐yl)ethanedione‐1‐phenylhydrazone with N‐arylmalemides and active methylene. All newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data.     

Condensation products of 2-bromo-3-substituted-inden-1-ones with several primary amines

2-Bromo-3-substituted-inden-1-ones 2 reacted with L-cysteine or 2-aminobenzenethiol to produce 2,3-dihydro-5-phenylindeno[2,1-b][1,4]thiazine in moderate yield or 6-substituted-indeno[2,1-b][1,4]benzothiazines in good yield. The debrominated oxime and the phenylhydrazone of 2 were separated into their respective E- and Z-conformers by column chromatography and their E- and Z-configurations were obtained from the ¹H nmr spectra.     

Reactions of some arenes and pyrazoles in MeCN under conditions of undivided-cell electrolysis

As exemplified for the first time by pyrazole and its 4-nitro and 3,5-dimethyl derivatives, N-arylation of pyrazoles can be performed under conditions of undivided-cell amperostatic electrolysis (Pt electrodes, MeCN) of systems containing the pyrazolate anion and (or) pyrazole, arene (benzene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, or xylene), and a supporting electrolyte. In the case of electrolysis involving 1,4-dimethoxybenzene as arene, N-arylation followed simultaneously three routes to form an ortho-substitution product (1,4-dimethoxy-2-(pyrazol-1-yl)benzene), an ipso-substitution product (4-methoxy-1-(pyrazol-1-yl)benzene), and an ipso-bisaddition product (1,4-dimethoxy-1,4-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene) in a total current yield of up to 50%. The acid-base properties of the pyrazoles under study affect the ratio of the N-arylation products and govern the required composition of the starting reaction mixture. In the case of a stronger base, such as 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, N-arylation with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene occurred even in the pyrazole—arene—tetraalkylammonium perchlorate system, whereas N-arylation of 4-nitropyrazole (a weaker base) proceeded only in the presence of the pyrazolate anion or another base, viz., sym-collidine. Oxidation of arene to the radical cation is the key anodic reaction. Not only the pyrazolate anion, but also highly basic pyrazole or a solvate complex of weakly basic pyrazole with collidine can serve as a nucleophilic partner in subsequent transformations of these radical cations.     

N-Dimethoxyphenylation of highly basic pyrazoles during undivided electrolysis

The reactions of pyrazole, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, and its 4-nitro derivatives with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene during undivided amperostatic electrolysis in MeCN (CH₂Cl₂) were studied. The basicity of the medium, which depends on the solvent nature, the nature and concentration of pyrazole and the acid-base properties of additives, and the amount of electricity passed determine the yield and relative content of the target products, viz., 1,4-dimethoxy-2-(pyrazol-1-yl)benzenes (1) and 1,4-dimethoxy-1,4-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexa-2,5-dienes (2). The process occurs mainly through the interaction of the nonionized solvato complex of pyrazole with the 1,4-dimethoxybenzene radical cation and affords radical intermediates structurally similar to compounds 1 and 2. The key stage of the process determining the 1 : 2 ratio is the rearrangement of the intermediately produced 1,4-dimethoxy-1-(pyrazol-1-yl)arenonium cation to the 1-(pyrazol-1-yl)-2,5-dimethoxyarenonium cation.     

Efficient Synthesis of Fully Substituted and Diversely Functionalized Pyrazoles through p-TSA Catalyzed One-Pot Condensation of Cyclic β-Diketones,Arylglyoxals and Arylhydrazones

A one-pot, three-component, and atom economic synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically important fully substituted and functionalized pyrazole derivatives has been accomplished under metal-catalyst-free benign conditions. The strategy involves early condensation of readily available cyclic β-diketones (dimidone, 4-hydroxycoumarin and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) and arylglyoxals to generate a chalcone type intermediate which upon acid catalyzed condensation with ambident nucleophile arylhydrazones produces various aryl and cyclic β-diketone substituted pyrazole derivatives. The synthesis embraces high functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, excellent yield of the products, short reaction time and operationally simple and mild reaction conditions. The synthesis provides an easy opportunity of incorporating biologically important N-diarylsulfide/selenide functionality, various enolisable cyclic β-diketones and other bioactive heterocycles concurrently to pyrazole, which may help in designing and development of pyrazole derivatives of pharmacological significance.     

Supramolecular dimeric structures of pyrazole-containing meso-oxo carbaphlorin analogues

Synthesis and properties of a novel meso-oxo carbaphlorin analogue embedded with an N-free pyrazole moiety are described. The N-benzyl precursor was prepared by a [3 + 1]-MacDonald condensation of N-benzyl pyrazole dialdehyde and β-alkyl-substituted tripyrrane dicarboxylic acid and subsequent oxidation by ferric chloride. Upon deprotection of the benzyl group, the resulting N-free oxophlorin analogue formed a unique supramolecular dimer through mutual hydrogen bonding interactions between the pyrazole NH and meso-carbonyl group. The assembled behaviour was characterised by various spectroscopies, X-ray crystallographic analysis and vapour pressure osmometry. Under the similar reaction conditions, the condensation of meso-phenyl-substituted tripyrrane derivative afforded an unprecedented tetrapyrrolic macrocycle fused with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone unit at their α-pyrrolic positions. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the macrocycle revealed a twisted core structure, and nonaromatic nature was elucidated.     

Synthesis and in vitro biological activity of some 7-[hydrazino], -[hydrazonyl] and -[pyrazolyl]quinolone-3-carboxylic acids

1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-7-hydrazino-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ( 8 ) has been prepared and served as a versatile intermediate from which a number of hydrazone, pyrazole and dihydropyridazine derivatives were synthesized. The in vitro biological activity of some of these derivatives is reported.     

Efficient and Rapid Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Novel Symmetric 1,4-Dihydropyridines Using Glacial Acetic Acid as Solvent

A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridines bearing a pyrazole moiety in the 4-position were synthesized by a variation of the classical Hantzsch synthesis. The reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde 4a–n with 3-amino crotononitrile in the presence of glacial acetic acid afforded novel 3,5-dicyano-2,6-dimethyl 1,4-dihydropyridines 5a–n. The procedure has short reaction time (15–20 min), easy workup, and good yield of product. The structures of all synthesized compounds were well characterized by mass, infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and elemental analysis.     

Action des hydrazines sur les acétyl-4 chloro-5 (ou 3) méthyl-3 (ou 5) pyrazoles: Formation d'une pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoléïne,d'hydrazones et de cétazines

The cyclisation of 4-acetyl-5(or 3)-chloropyrazole hydrazones into pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles does not proceed when the pyrazole is a N-methylated derivative or when the hydrazone is a phenylhydrazone. Instead of 1-azapentalene derivatives, a new pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline and several hydrazones and ketazines have been isolated.

A novel series of bis(1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile) and bis(tetrahydrodipyrazolo[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyridine) derivatives which are linked to pyrazole units were prepared via Hantzsch like reaction of the bis-aldehydes with the respective 3-aminocrotonitrile and pyrazolone derivatives.     

Research on nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. XV. Synthesis of 1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine derivatives

The synthesis of derivatives of 1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine, a new tricyclic nitrogen-containing nucleus is reported. Condensation of arylaldehydes with 4-aminomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole afforded the title compounds. Bischler-Napieralski intramolecular cyclization of 4-acetamidomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole was also studied. The reaction led to 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine or alternatively to 4-chloromethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole depending on the solvent used.     

A Divergent Synthesis of Spiropyrazole Derivatives Containing Iminolactone and/or Cyclic Imide Moiety

An approach to spiropyrazole derivatives containing iminolactone and/or cyclic imide moiety starting from 1H‐pyrazole‐4‐acetic acid derivative is described. Hydrolysis of C‐cyanomethylated 1H‐pyrazole‐4‐acetic acid methyl ester ( 1 ), which was easily prepared from 1H‐pyrazole‐4‐acetic acid derivative by a C‐cyanomethylation, led to the C‐cyanomethylated 1H‐pyrazole‐4‐acetic acid ( 2 ). Compound 2 was reacted with ethanol in the presence of tin(IV) chloride in refluxing chloroform to give the key intermediate ethyl imidate ( 3 ). Sodium hydride‐assisted lactonization of 3 in N,N‐dimethylformamide afforded the spiropyrazole derivative containing iminolactone moiety ( 4 ). On the other hand, thermal treatment of 3 with sodium acetate in the absence of solvent caused another intramolecular cyclization to yield the spiropyrazole derivative containing cyclic imide moiety ( 6 ).     

3,6‐Dinitropyrazolo[4,3‐c]pyrazole‐Based Multipurpose Energetic Materials through Versatile N‐Functionalization Strategies

A family of 3,6‐dinitropyrazolo[4,3‐c]pyrazole‐based energetic compounds was synthesized by using versatile N‐functionalization strategies. Subsequently, nine ionic derivatives of the N,N′‐(3,6‐dinitropyrazolo[4,3‐c]pyrazole‐1,4‐diyl)dinitramidate anion were prepared by acid‐base reactions and fully characterized by infrared, multinuclear NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. The structures of four of these compounds were further confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Based on their different physical and detonation properties, these compounds exhibit promising potential as modern energetic materials and can be variously classified as green primary explosives, high‐performance secondary explosives, fuel‐rich propellants, and propellant oxidizers.     

Synthesis of pyrazole derivatives as potential bioisosteres of thromboxane-synthetase inhibitors

A series of ω-carboalkenyl pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized as potential thromboxane-synthetase inhibitors considering the close bioisosteric relationship between the pyrazole ring and other heteroaromatic carboalkenyl compounds exhibiting inhibitory activity. (E)-7-(1-Phenylpyrazol-4-yl)hept-2-enoic acid (4b) were prepared in 28% overall yield from its minor bis-homologue, (E)-5-(1-phenylpyrazol-4-yl)pent-2-enoic acid (4a) , obtained from 4-formyl-1-phenylpyrazole (6) in 17% overall yield. Compounds 4a, 4b, 7, 8 and 13 were screened for their ability to inhibit the in vitro rabbit blood platelet aggregation induced by collagen using the Born test. Among the active compounds 4a exhibited an important inhibition at 1 μM concentration.     

Arenium cation as the key intermediate of the electrosynthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)azoles. A new approach to the synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(dimethoxyphenyl)azoles

Data on the effect of the acid-base properties of the medium on the yield and composition of the products of N-dimethoxyphenylation of azoles (pyrazole, triazole, their substituted derivatives, and tetrazole) upon galvanostatic electrolysis of azole—1,4-dimethoxybenzene mixtures in nucleophilic (MeOH) and neutral (MeCN) media were considered and the trends of this process were discussed. The generation of arenium cations (1,4-dimethoxy-1-azolylbenzenium in MeCN and 1,1,4-trimethoxybenzenium in MeOH) as the key intermediates of electrosynthesis of N-(dimethoxyphenyl)azoles, was proved experimentally. A new approach to the synthesis of N-(dimethoxyphenyl)azoles through electrosynthesis of 1,1,4,4-tetramethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene by electrooxidation of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene in MeOH as the first step and the reaction of this quinone diketal with azoles as the second step was suggested. The efficiency of this route to N-(dimethoxyphenyl)azoles is comparable with the efficiency of the purely electrochemical one-step process. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Studies on enaminonitriles: A new synthesis of 1,3‐substituted pyrazole‐4‐carbonitrile

3‐Diethylaminoacrylonitrile ( 1 ) reacts with hydrazonyl halides ( 2a‐d ) to yield 1,3‐disubstituted pyrazole‐4‐carbonitriles 5a‐d. The acetyl 1‐p‐chlorophenylpyrazole‐4‐carbonitrile ( 5a ) condensed with hydrazine hydrate to yield the bishydrazone 10 and with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal to yield 1‐aryl‐3‐(3‐dimethylamino)acryloyl pyrazole‐4‐carbonitrile ( 11 ). This enamine reacts with hydrazine hydrate to yield the pyrazolylpyrazole ( 12 ) and with naphthoquinone to yield the 3‐naphthofuranoyl pyrazole 13. The pyra‐zolyl pyridine derivative 14 was obtained upon treatment of 11 with acetylacetone in the presence of ammonium acetate. Compound 11 was coupled with p‐chlorobenzene diazonium chloride to yield the hydrazone 16 that was coupled further with p‐chlorobenzenediazonium chloride to yield the formazane 18.
