Amide-pyrazoles

The amination of aryl halides and triflates catalyzed by palladium complexes is suitable for use in complex synthetic problems. Many amines couple with a variety of aryl halides and sulfonates to produce high yields of mixed arylamines with at least one of the existing catalyst systems. Nevertheless, there are many combinations of substrates for which the amination chemistry may be substantially improved. For the most part, these reactions involve nitrogen centers, such as those in pyrroles, indoles, amides, pyrazoles, and other heterocyclic groups that are less basic than those in standard alkylamines. Although mild reaction con-...

Methylpyrazole has been investigated as a possible treatment for alcoholism. The stmcture—activity relationship (SAR) associated with a series of pyrazoles has been examined ia a 1992 study (51). These compounds were designed as nonprostanoid prostacyclin mimetics to inhibit human platelet aggregation. In this study, 3,4,5-triphenylpyrazole was linked to a number of alkanoic acids, esters, and amides. From the many compounds synthesized, triphenyl-IJT-pyrazole-l-nonanoic acid (80) was found to be the most efficacious candidate (IC g = 0.4 //M). 

Acid chlorides are useful reagents, but when the pyrazole is N- unsubstituted a dimerization occurs and the diketopiperazine (254) is isolated (Section 4.04.2.3.3(x)). However, (254) reacts with many compounds as an acid chloride would, for example with amines to yield amides (67HC(22)l). The difunctional pyrazole derivative (441) affords polymers by reaction with diphenols (69RRC763). Cyanopyrazoles can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids (68CB829). 

Application of the Knorr pyrazole synthesis has also been demonstrated on solid support. ° To prepare trisubstituted pyrazoles, the diketone was linked to the solid support to make 57 using a linker with an amide bond. Alkylation of the diketone followed by condensation of the hydrazine with the resulting diketone gave the desired pyrazoles as mixtures of isomers. Subsequent cleavage of the amide bond linker then provided the pyrazole amides 59. ... 

It is neeessary to emphasize that the direet amination of the methyl group at position 5 of pyrazoles is impossible. Neither 1,3,5-tiimethyl- nor4-ethynyl-l,3,5-trimethylpyrazole undergoes sueh transformations under the reaetion eonditions and starting materials are reeovered nearly quantitatively. Moreover, 4-bromo-ethynyl-l,3,5-trlmethyl- and 4-iodoethynyl-l,3,5-trimethylpyrazole with sodium amide in ammonia exehange the halogen for metal almost quantitatively and in this respeet are similar to phenylehloroaeetylene (Seheme 102). 

Such an easy isomerization of acetylenylbenzoic acid amides implies the formation of a five-membered nonaromatic ring condensed with the pyrazole ring. However, the pyrazole analog of o-iodobenzamide (amide of 4-iodo-l-methylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid) formed under heating with CuC=CPh in pyridine for 9 h only the disubstituted acetylene in 71 % yield is identical in all respects to the compound obtained from the corresponding acid by successive action of SOCI2 and NH3 (90IZV2089) (Scheme 126). 

Intramolecular addition of the amide group to the triple bond in pyrazoles is more difficult, and results in closure of the 5-lactam rather than the y-lactam ring. The reaction time of the 4-phenylethynylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid amide under the same conditions is extended to 42 h (Scheme 129) (Table XXVII). The cyclization of l-methyl-4-phenylethynyl-l//-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid amide, in which the acetylene substituent is located in the 7r-electron-rich position of the heterocycle, is the only one complete after 107 h (Scheme 130) (90IZV2089).

The reaction of diacetylene and its asymmetric homologs (penta-l,3-diyne, hexa-1,3-diyne) with semicarbazide (72ZOR2605) affords the amides of 3-methyl-pyrazole- 1-carboxylic acid (27) (80°C, EtONa, EtOH, 40 h). Amide 26 undergoes irreversible rearrangement to amide 27 at 80°C (EtONa, EtOH). 

Finally, NHC complexes of copper, formed in situ from the hnidazolium salt and CuBr have been used in the monoarylation of aniline [167]. Trinuclear Cu(I) catalysts have been applied to the arylation of pyrazoles, triazoles, amides and phenols [168] (Scheme 6.50). 

Patent applications from Pfizer disclosed 1,5-diaryl-pyrazoles bearing bioisosteric replacements for the 3-carboxamide moiety. One application showed that the amide could be replaced by a-aminoketones as exemplified by compound (416) [284]. The corresponding alcohols and their ethers were also described, including compounds that allowed the amine substituent and ether to form a ring system, such as a morpholine unit. This application also allowed for the replacement of the 1,5-diaryl-pyrazole by a 1,2-diaryl-imidazole bearing a 3-carbonyl substituent, as exemplified by compound (417). A further patent application from Pfizer claims compounds in which imidazoles replace the 3-carboxamide moiety in the 1,5-diaryl-pyrazole... 

The compounds referred to as azolides are heterocyclic amides in which the amide nitrogen is part of an azole ring, such as imidazole, pyrazole, triazole, tetrazole, benzimidazole, benzotriazole, and their substituted derivatives. In contrast to normal amides, most of which show particularly low reactivities in such nucleophilic reactions as hydrolysis, alcoholysis, aminolysis, etc., the azolides are characterized by high reactivities in reactions with nucleophiles within the carbonyl group placing these compounds at about the same reactivity level as the corresponding acid chlorides or anhydrides. 11... 

The intermediate acylamidine 244 functions as the three-atom component in reaction with hydroxylamine to give the [l,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]pyrazole 245, where the intermediate acylamidine 244 was obtained in good yield from reaction of the corresponding amide 243 with dimethylacetamide-dimethyl acetal (Scheme 37) <1999JME2218>. 

Nitrile oxides add to various N-nucleophiles, bearing N-H bonds to give amidoximes. These nucleophiles comprise primary and secondary amines, amides, N-heterocycles and so on. Thus, N-unsubstituted pyrazole, imidazole, 1,2,3- and... 

Syntheses in this category consist of intermolecular thioalkylation of 5-oxo+,5-dihydro-pyrazole-l-carbothioic acid phenyl amides 253 followed by intramolecular aldol condensation to give substituted pyrazolothiazole-type compounds 254 (Equation 111) < 1998PS119>. 

Oxo-derivatives of pyrazole also contain an amide group replacing two carbon atoms in the aromatic pyrrole ring. Antipyrine [146] is... 

The thiazofurin acyclic analog 925 was prepared from 924 as shown in the scheme (87H947). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the acetylenic derivative 927 to the diazo derivative 926 gave the pyrazole 928, whose amidation and debenzylation gave 929 (93MI11).
