5-Aryl-substituted 3-aminopyrazoles

Diazo(trimethylsilyl)methyl lithium (3) was found to be the reagent of choice for the synthesis of azoles from heterocumulenes (Scheme 8.43). The reaction is typically carried out in ether at 0-20 °C. Thus, alkyl- (or aryl-)substituted keteni-mines are transformed into 1,2,3-triazoles 188 (246), while C-acceptor-substituted ketenimines yield either 4-aminopyrazoles 189 or 1,2,3-triazoles, depending on the substituents (247). Isocyanates are converted into 5-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles 190 (248). Reaction of 3 with isothiocyanates are strongly solvent dependent. 

Whereas 1-alkyl substituted 5-aminopyrazoles 12 (R = alkyl or aryl) cyclize on treatment with -keto esters into pyrazolo[3,4-h] pyrimidines, cyclocondensation of 12 (R = Ts Ts, p-toluenesulfonyl) with / -keto esters affords pyrazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidines (71JPR969). 

A new efficient procedure has been proposed for the synthesis of 3-aryl-5-amino-l//-pyrazoles by reaction of a-chloro-/ -arylacrylonitriles with hydrazine hydrate <2004RJ01518>. Reaction of 2-(3,3-dicyano-2-propenylidene)-4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-l,3-dioxolane 641 with hydrazine afforded 3-(2-hydroxy-l,l,2-trimethylpropoxy)pyrazole 642 (Equation 134) <2003RJ01016>. Treatment of ethyl 3,3-dicyano-2-methoxyacrylate with alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic, and sulfonyl hydrazines led to the synthesis of N-l-substituted 3-acyM-cyano-5-aminopyrazoles, which are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of many biologically active scaffolds <2006TL5797>. 2-Hydrazinothiazol-4(5//)-one reacted with a variety of cinnamonitrile derivatives and activated acrylonitriles to yield annelated pyrazolopyrano[2,3-rf thiazole <1998JCM730>. 

For purposes of classification the 4-aminopyrazoles are considered to be 4-imino-2-pyrazolines and analogs of 2-pyrazolin-4-ones. These compounds are listed in Table XL. Such compounds can be prepared by direct cyclization using ethyl diazoacetate and ethyl cyanoacetate.92 This is the same as eq. 243, except that the malonic ester is replaced by ethyl cyanoacetate. Purines can be hydrolyzed to 4-imino-2-pyrazolines by using strong acid.1210 1846 By far the most frequently used preparation is reduction of appropriately substituted pyrazoles, such as 4-nitro,368,812,819,1015,1019,1049 4-nitroso1165 or 4-aryl-azo.671 974,995 The hydrolysis of the carbethoxy 4-imino-2-pyrazolines derived from ethyl cyanoacetate and ethyl diazoacetate forms 4-imino-2-pyrazolin-3-carboxylic acid which is readily decarboxylated to the parent compound.92... 

Aryl-6-phenyl-2-methylthio/secondary amino substituted-4(3//)-pyrimidinones were derived from a reaction of N-arylamino substituted 1,3-diaza-1,3-butadienes with substituted ketenes that was analyzed by computational methods <97T13829>. 1,3-Diazines related to 6-amino-4-chloro-5-cyano-2-(dimethylamino)pyrimidine were prepared in one-pot fashion from 1,1-diamino-2,2-dicyanoethylene and phosgeniminium chloride <97SC1223>. Pyrazolo[3,4- /]pyrimidines were derived from 4-substituted 5-aminopyrazole-l-carbothioamides <97JCR(S)352>. Amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)-l,2,4-triazole gave polysubstituted 2-... 

Functionalized macrocyclane-fused pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives 81 with aryl group residing in 2-position of the pyridine nucleus were assembled by a microwave-assisted three-component reaction of aldehydes 69, 5-aminopyrazoles 80, and macrocyclic ketones 79 in HOAc in the presence of l.Oequiv of trifluo-roacetic acid (TFA) as the promoter (Scheme 12.29) [50]. This method provided an efficient and promising synthetic strategy for the construction of 44 examples of differently substituted pyrazolopyridines 81. To further explore the scope of the reaction, the same group investigated the domino reaction of aldehydes 69, 5-aminopyrazoles 80, and cyclopentanone 79a under acidic and basic conditions. As expected, reaction in AcOH led to pyrazolo[3,4-l)]pyridines 82 via a selective [4+2]...
