Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Methyl (3)5-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates

Series of methyl 3- and 5-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates were developed and regioselectively synthesized as novel heterocyclic amino acids in their N-Boc protected ester form for achiral and chiral building blocks. In the first stage of the synthesis, piperidine-4-carboxylic and (R)- and (S)-piperidine-3-carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding β-keto esters, which were then treated with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The subsequent reaction of β-enamine diketones with various N-mono-substituted hydrazines afforded the target 5-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates as major products, and tautomeric NH-pyrazoles prepared from hydrazine hydrate were further N-alkylated with alkyl halides to give 3-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates. The structures of the novel heterocyclic compounds were confirmed by ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy and HRMS investigation.

The X-ray diffraction study of potentially tautomeric 3(5)-butylsulfanyl-5(3)-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole and its 5(3)-phenyl-substituted analog showed that these compounds in crystal have the structure of 3-butylsulfanyl-5-methyl(phenyl)-1H-tautomers. Analysis of our experimental and published data indicated that 3(5)-monosubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles and 3,5-disubstituted derivatives having nonequivalent substituents in crystal as exist as a tautomer in which the electron-acceptor substituent (R_A) occupies the 3 position, while the electron-donor substituent (R_D) resides in the 5 position, i.e., as 3-R_A-5-R_D-1H-1,2,4-triazoles. Symmetric 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles could give rise to tautomeric equilibrium between the 1H-and 2H-structures even in crystal.

Unexpected course of rearrangement of substituted S-(1(3H)-isobenzofuranone-3-yl)isothiuronium bromides

Three series of S-(1(3H)-isobenzofuranone-3-yl)isothiuronium bromides differing in substitution at the isothiuronium moiety (none, one or two methyl groups) and at the benzene ring were prepared and characterized. These salts were then treated with various bases (acetate, triethylamine, Na₂CO₃) to give either 1-hydroxy-3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-carbothioamides or the product of S to N isobenzofuranone-3-yl migration, i.e., 1,3-dimethyl-1-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-yl)thioureas. If ammonia was used in reaction with N,N′-dimethyl isothiuronium salts then 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ones were formed together with 1,3-dimethyl-1-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-yl)thioureas in parallel reaction with the yields increasing with ammonia concentration.
