N-Allyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides in reactions with polyphosphoric acid, with N-halosuccinimides in chloroform, and with (chlorosulfanyl)benzenes in nitromethane in the presence of lithium perchlorate underwent cyclization involving the N-allylamide fragment to give 4-[5-methyl(halomethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates, respectively. Analogous reactions of N-propargyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides with polyphosphoric acid afforded 4-(5-methyloxazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amines, and with (chlorosulfanyl) benzenes, 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates.     

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.

Aurones, pyrazole and thiophene scaffolds are known for their potential antimicrobial activity. Herein, we have synthesized hybrid compounds containing three substituted (Z)-2-{[1-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)- 1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methylene}benzofuran-3(2H)-ones that had been produced from substituted (E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)- 3-[1-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones in high yields. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity. Several of those demonstrated promising activity against some fungal and bacterial strains.     

Fusion of 2-(furan-2-yl)thiazole to 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-benzimidazole

Methylation of 5(6)-nitro-1H-benzimidazole with methyl iodide in the presence of potassium hydroxide and N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one gave a mixture of isomeric 1-methyl-5-nitro- and 1-methyl-6-nitro-1H-benzimidazoles which were reduced with tin in concentrated aqueous HCl on heating. The resulting amines reacted with furan-2-carbonyl chloride in N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one to give furan-2-carboxamides which were treated with excess P₂S₅ in pyridine. Oxidation of isomeric furan-2-carbothioamides with K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in alkaline medium afforded a mixture of intramolecular cyclization products, 2-(furan-2-yl)-6-methyl-6H-imidazo[4,5-g][1,3]benzothiazole and 2-(furan-2-yl)-8-methyl-8H-imidazo[4,5-g][1,3]benzothiazole which were separated by column chromatography and identified.     

Synthesis and reactions of 3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid

The reaction of ethyl 4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate with the malonic acid led to the formation (2E)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid. In reactions of this acid chloride with 4-amino-5-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols were obtained ethyl 4-[(E)-2-{3-aryl(hetaryl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-yl}ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoe-3-carboxylates, with 5-aryltetrazoles, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, with 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) followed by the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement and the cyclization, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(6,8-dimethyl-4-oxo-4Hchromen-2-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate.

Functionalization of methyl 3-acetyl-5-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-indole-1-carboxylate

Oxidative heterocyclization of methyl 3-{1-[2-(carbamoylhydrazinylidene)]ethyl}-2-methyl-5-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-1H-indole-1-carboxylate by the action of selenium dioxide in acetic acid and heating of the corresponding thiosemicarbazone in boiling acetic anhydride gave 1,2,3-selenadiazole and 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, respectively. Methyl 3-acetyl-2-methyl-5-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-1H-indole-1-carboxylate reacted with selenium dioxide in dioxane–water (30: 1) at 80?90°C to form methyl 5-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-methyl-3-(2-oxoacetyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate whose condensation with o-phenylenediamine afforded methyl 2-methyl-5-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-3-(quinoxalin-2-yl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate.

3-(4,5-Dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)oxazolidines and 3-(4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)perhydro-1,3-oxazines were synthesized in 54–85% yield by reactions of α-amino alcohols and 3-aminopropan-1-ol, respectively, with formaldehyde and 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.     

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.     

Complexes of cobalt(II) halides with 2-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-1-yl)-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-pyrimidinone

The electronic structures of complexes of cobalt(II) halides with 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4(3H)-pyrimidinone have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Co2p _3/2 lines of cobalt atoms, N1s lines of nitrogen atoms, and O1s lines of oxygen atoms in the X-ray photoelectron spectra have been analyzed. Based on these data for the free and coordinated ligands, the atoms of the ligand coordinated to the central metal atom are determined. The coordinated organic compound serves as an electron-donating ligand. The results obtained are consistent with IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic data.     

Synthesis and properties of ethyl 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-[1-(phenylhydrazinylidene)ethyl]-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazole-3-carboxylates

Ethyl 1-aryl-4-acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates reacted with phenylhydrazine to give the corresponding hydrazones, ethyl 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-[1-(phenylhydrazinylidene)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, which were converted to ethyl 1′-aryl-4-formyl-5′-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,1′H-3,4′-bipyrazole-3′-carboxylates by treatment with the Vilsmeier–Haack reagent. No indole derivatives were formed from the same hydrazones under the Fischer reaction conditions, but cyclization to 2-aryl-3,4-dimethyl-6-phenyl-2,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones was observed.

Thermolysis of methyl 3-acyl-1-[(diphenylmethylidene)amino]-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates generates 4-acyl-1-(diphenylmethylidene)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-ium-5-olates which react with alkenes to give methyl 3-acyl-7,7-diphenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,3]oxazine-2- carboxylates. The product structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

Synthesis and Some Transformations of 7-(Fur-2-yl)-1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>][1,3]benzothiazole

N-Methylation of 5-nitro-1H-indazole in a KOH–DMSO system resulted in a mixture of 1-methyl-5(6)-nitroindazoles in a ratio of 1: 2. Reduction of the isomers with tin in concentrated hydrochloric acid afforded pure 1-methyl-1H-indazole-6-amine. Condensation of the latter with furoyl chloride in 2-propanol yielded N-(1-methylindazol-6-yl)furan-2-carboxamide, treatment of which with an excess of P2S5 in anhydrous pyridine gave the corresponding carbothioamide. 7-(Fur-2-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-g][1,3]benzothiazole was synthesized by Jacobson oxidation of N-(1-methylindazol-6-yl) furan-2-carbothioamide with potassium ferricyanide in an alkaline medium. Some transformations of 7-(fur-2-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-g][1,3]- benzothiazole such as formylation and acylation were performed.

A procedure was proposed for regioselective acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]-pyrrole-5-carboxylate with 2-(3-indolyl)-2-oxoacetyl chloride. Reactions of the resulting methyl 6-[2-(3-indolyl)-1,2-dioxoethyl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate with aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate in acetic acid afforded the corresponding methyl 6-[2-aryl-4-(3-indolyl)imidazol-5-yl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylates. The structure of methyl 6-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-indolyl)imidazol-5-yl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate was studied by X-ray analysis.     

Thermal Rearrangements of 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>- and 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-Pyrazoles Prepared by Reactions of 9-Diazofluoren with Methyl Tetrolate and Methyl 3-Phenylpropiolate

9-Diazofluoren adds in Et₂O at 20°C to methyltetrolate in keeping with Auwers rule and nonregioselectively adds to methyl-3-phenylpropiolate with the formation of spirocyclic 3H-pyrazoles. The methyltetrolate adduct at boiling in toluene converts into methyl 3a-methyl-3aH-dibenzo[e,g]indazole-3-carboxylate, at 190°C in benzene, into methyl 3-methyl-2H-dibenzo[e,g]indazole-2-carboxylate, and at 160°C in methanol, into 3-methyl-2H-dibenzo[e,g]indazole. Auwers adduct of methyl 3-phenylpropiolate at boiling in benzene gives cyclopropene derivative and at boiling in methanol isomerizes into methyl 3a-phenyl-3aHdibenzo[e,g]indazole-3-carboxylate. Anti-Auwers adduct at boiling in benzene isomerizes into methyl 2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-f]phenanthridine-3-carboxylate.
