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 ).

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.     

Synthesis,characterization, and structural investigations of 1‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,3‐triazolium salts,and a new route to 1‐substituted‐1,2,3‐triazoles

Quarternary salts based upon 3‐alkyl substituted 1‐amino‐1,2,3‐triazolium cations (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, nypropyl, 2‐propenyl, and n‐butyl) have been synthesized and characterized by vibrational spectra, multinuclear NMR, elemental analysis, and DSC studies. Subsequent diazotization of these salts results in the exclusive formation of 1‐alkyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles. Single crystal X‐ray studies were carried out for 1‐amino‐3‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazolium iodide, 1‐amino‐3‐ethyl‐1,2,3‐triazolium bromide, 1‐amino‐3‐n‐propyl‐1,2,3‐triazolium bromide, and 1‐amino‐3‐n‐butyl‐1,2,3‐triazolium bromide as well as the starting heterocycle, 1‐amino‐1,2,3‐triazole, and all of the structures are discussed.     

Studies with 2‐arylhydrazononitriles: Further investigations on reactivity of 2‐arylhydrazononitriles towards hydroxylamine

The utilization of arylhydrazononitriles ( 6‐9 ) for synthesis of azoles is demonstrated. Thus, arylazomalononitriles ( 6 ) reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford isoxazol‐5‐imine ( 10 ), amidoxime ( 12 ) and bis‐amidoxime ( 13 ) derivatives depending upon both the reaction conditions and molar ratio employed. 2‐Thiazolyl‐2‐arylhydrazononitriles ( 7 ) and cyanoformazans ( 8 ) gave 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives ( 15 ) and ( 17 ) respectively upon treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and concomitant loss of water molecule. Formation of novel 1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐one derivatives ( 21 ) has efficiently been carried out by treatment of amidoximes ( 18 ) with acetic anhydride in acetic acid.     

Synthesis,structure, and antibacterial evaluation of new N‐substituted‐3‐amino‐ 5‐oxo‐4‐phenyl‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrazole‐1‐carbothioamides

Novel N‐substituted‐3‐amino‐5‐oxo‐4‐phenyl‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrazole‐1‐carbothioamide derivatives were synthesized by means of two methods. First is the cyclization reaction of 1‐(cyanophenyl)acetyl‐4‐substituted thiosemicarbazide, and the second one is reaction of cyanophenyl acetic acid hydrazide with isothiocyanate. Structures of new compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, and X‐ray diffraction analysis. Biological evaluation showed that some of them possess promising antibacterial activities. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An amino–imino resonance study of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate

The contributions of the amino and imino resonance forms to the ground‐state structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate, C₆H₉N₂⁺·NO₃⁻, and the previously reported 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate [Yan, Fan, Bi, Zuo & Zhang (2012).

The results show that the structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridine and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridine obtained upon protonation are best described as existing largely in the imino resonance forms.     

Polar aspects of intramolecular interactions in 2‐amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines and 2‐amino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines

The dipole moments of twelve 2‐N‐substituted amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( I‐XII ) and three 2‐N‐substituted amino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( XIII‐XV ) were determined in benzene. The polar aspects of intramolecular charge‐transfer and intramolecular hydrogen bonding were discussed. The interaction dipole moments, μ_int, were calculated for 2‐N‐alkyl(or aryl)amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines. Increased alkylation of amino nitrogen brought about an intensified push‐pull interaction between the amino and nitro groups. The solvent effects on the dipole moments of 2‐N‐methylamino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methyl‐( I ), 2‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methyl‐ ( II ) and 2‐N‐methylamino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( XIII ) were different. Specific hydrogen bond solute‐solvent interactions increased the charge‐transfer effect in I , but it did not disrupt the intramolecular hydrogen bond in XIII.     

Some new information on the formation of substituted 4‐amino‐1‐substituted phenyl‐1H‐pyrazoles from β‐enaminones and diazonium tetrafluoroborates

Upon reaction of 2‐methyl‐, 3‐ethoxycarbonyl, and 4‐ethoxycarbonylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate with 1‐cyclopropyl‐3‐phenylaminohex‐2‐en‐1‐one 3‐cyclopropylcarbonyl‐1‐(substituted phenyl)‐5‐ethyl‐4‐phenylamino‐1H‐pyrazoles are formed. On the other hand, the reaction of 1‐cyclopropyl‐3‐phenylaminohex‐2‐en‐1‐one and 5‐methylaminohept‐4‐en‐3‐one with sterically more demanding 2‐ethoxycarbonylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate does not give the corresponding pyrazoles but the probable intermediates on the route to the pyrazoles: 1‐cyclopropyl‐3‐phenyliminohexane‐1,2,4‐trione 2,4‐bis(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenylhydrazone) and 3‐methyliminoheptane‐2,4,5‐trione 2,4‐bis(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenylhydrazone), respectively. All the compounds were identified on the basis of ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectra. The structure of 1‐cyclopropyl‐3‐phenyliminohexane‐1,2,4‐trione 2,4‐bis(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenylhydrazone) was confirmed by means of ¹⁵N‐NMR spectra and X‐ray. The bis(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenylhydrazones) were found to show atropoisomerism due to a hindered rotation around the bond between the carbons of imino group and the hydrazono group next to carbonyl. In the case of the crystalline cyclopropyl derivative, the unit cell was found out to contain two molecules of opposite chirality. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).
