Pyrazolidines hydrazines

Several oxo compounds are derived from pyrazolidine, a cyclic N,N -disubstituted hydrazine. Pyrazolidin-3-ones as well as pyrazolidin-4-ones are known [459]. The anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone (1) is a substituted pyrazolidine-3,5-dione. It is prepared by C-alkylation of l,2-diphenylpyrazolidin-3,5-dione. For the industrial synthesis, cyclocondensation of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine with diethyl 2-butylmalonate is preferred ... 

The fully saturated pyrazolidines have been utilized as models for the study of the nitrogen inversion of hydrazines. For instance, (75), a 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivative, presents a consecutive inversion process at two nitrogen atoms with an activation barrier... 

Formation of a 1,2-disubstituted hydrazine by acid hydrolysis of an appropriately substituted pyrazolidine has been noted (67HC(22)l), but the most interesting ring fission of pyrazolidines involves the N(l)—N(2) bond of 1-phenylpyrazolidines (421). If, instead of phenylhydrazone, compound (421) is used in the Fischer indole synthesis, N- aminopropylin-doles are formed (73T4045). Scheme 39 shows the reaction with cyclohexanone. 

A recent paper by Singh et al. summarized the mechanism of the pyrazole formation via the Knorr reaction between diketones and monosubstituted hydrazines. The diketone is in equilibrium with its enolate forms 28a and 28b and NMR studies have shown the carbonyl group to react faster than its enolate forms.Computational studies were done to show that the product distribution ratio depended on the rates of dehydration of the 3,5-dihydroxy pyrazolidine intermediates of the two isomeric pathways for an unsymmetrical diketone 28. The affect of the hydrazine substituent R on the dehydration of the dihydroxy intermediates 19 and 22 was studied using semi-empirical calculations. ... 

Aziridinium ion-based click chemistry provides convenient access to pyrazolo[l,2-ajpyrazoles, active inhibitors of penicillin-binding proteins [58, 59]. Ring-opening of aziridinium ions 32 at the benzylic position with hydrazine, followed by intramolecular cyclization, gave pyrazolidin-3-ones 37 in excellent yields (Scheme 12.27). Heating of the hydrazides 37 with aromatic aldehydes at reflux in absolute... 

Reaction of secoestrone aldehyde 306 with half an equivalent of hydrazine hydrate led to aldazine 307, which undergoes a criss-cross reaction in the presence of BF3-OEt2 to furnish a decacyclic pyrazolidine derivative 308 in 74% yield (Scheme 44) <2002T6843>. 

Introduction of hydrazines opens new possibilities in the cyclocondensation pattern when both nitrogen atoms of hydrazines can be involved in the process. Thus, hydrazine derivative 644 reacts with electron-rich unsaturated compounds according to [3+2] cyclocondensation pattern to produce pyrazolidines 645 (Scheme 100)... 

A diastereoselective synthesis of bis(3,5)pyrazolophanes was accomplished by sequential inter- and intramolecular cycloadditions of homochiral nitrilimine intermediates . A-Alkyl pyrazolidine-3,5-diones were synthesized in a three-step sequence from dialkyl malonates <00JHC1209>. Methyl acetoacetate was employed as the initial substrate to 3-carboxamido-4-pyrazolecatboxylic acid derivatives <00JHC175>. Vilsmeier type reagent 33 reacted with imines 34 to afford enaminoimine hydrochlorides 35, which were transformed to pyrazoles 36 upon addition of hydrazine <0OJHC13O9>. 

In situ generation of azomethine imines from furan-3-carbaldehyde and ]V,N -disubstituted hydrazines followed by cycloaddition to N-methylmaleimide results in a 2.8 1 mixture of pyrazolidines 94 and 95 (X = O) separatable by chromatography. Eurther Pd(0) catalyzed cyclization involving the aldehyde and hydrazine moieties leads to the formation of benzoxepines 96 and 97 (X = O) in good yield (Scheme 17 (2003X4451)). 

Azomethine imine cycloadditions provide access to pyrazolidines, pyrazolines and pyrazoles. Intramolecular cyclizations were first reported in 1970.78 The main method for generation of azomethine im-ines involves reaction of a 1,2-disubstituted hydrazine with an aldehyde or an aldehyde precursor. 

The azomethine imine (151), having the alkene attached to the terminal dipole nitrogen, was generated in situ from the corresponding hydrazine by reaction with benzaldehyde (Scheme 47).79 As is typical in these reactions, condensation at the more basic benzyl-substituted nitrogen occurred, rather than at the acyl-substituted nitrogen. Cyclization of (151) afforded the 5,5-fused pyrazolidine and no bridged product. 

Aldehyde (166) reacted with excess hydrazine hydrochloride to afford a pyrazoline in 63% yield a mixture of pyrazoline and pyrazolidine was obtained under an inert atmosphere.83 This reaction presumably involves the hydrazone and protonated azomethine imine as intermediates. Using (166) in excess afforded a bisintramolecular adduct in 87% yield. 

A mixture comprising 108 g of phenyl hydrazine and 216 g of the diethyl ester of n-butylmalonic acid is heated on an oil bath at 170°-180°C for 12 hours. The residue is taken up with water in which an alkaline compound has been dissolved and acetic acid is added to precipitate 4-n-butyl-2-phenyl-pyrazolidine-3,5-dione. The product is a white crystalline solid having a MP 103°C. It is soluble in acetone and benzene, soluble in hot condition in methanol and ethanol and insoluble in water. 

This microwave-accelerated double alkylation reaction was applicable to a variety of aniline derivatives and dihalides, furnishing N-aryl azacycloalkanes in good to excellent yields [89]. The reaction was applicable to alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides and was extended to include hydrazines [90]. This improved synthetic methodology provided a simple and straightforward one-pot approach to the synthesis of a variety of heterocycles such as substituted azetidines, pyrrolidines, piperidines, azepanes, N-substituted-2,3-dihydro-Iff-isoindoles, 4,5-dihydro-pyrazoles, pyrazolidines, and 1,2-dihydro-phthalazines [91]. The mild reaction conditions tolerated a variety of functional groups such as hydroxyls, carbonyls, and esters.

Pyrazolines can also be prepared by the oxidation of pyrazolidines. 2-Pyrazolines, which are readily obtained in the reaction of a,j -unsaturated ketones with hydrazine, also undergo nitrogen extrusion at elevated temperature usually in the presence of a basic catalyst. The reaction is believed to proceed via 1-pyrazolines. Treatment of 3,3,5-trialkyl-2-pyrazolines with lead tetraacetate followed by thermolysis affords cyclopropyl acetates ". Oxidation of certain 2-pyrazolines with manganese dioxide gives 3H-pyrazoles, which in turn produce cyclopropenes in the photolysis (equation 7). ... 

One of the more frequently reported routes to 1,5-diazocines involves reductive nitrogen-nitrogen bond cleavage of N.A -trimethylenepyrazoli-dines (56) to yield 57. This reaction was first reported by Wiselogle and co-workers, who reacted 2 mol of trimethylene bromide or chloride with 1 mol of hydrazine. They obtained, in addition to 56 (R = R1 = H) and pyrazolidine, the corresponding ring-opened compound 57 (R = R1 = H)... 

The most frequently used procedures for preparation of 5-imino-3-pyrazolidines can all be considered as variations of cyclization of malonic acid derivatives. Various hydrazines react with ethyl /3-amino-/ -ethoxyacrylate to form 2-substituted-5-imino-3-pyrazolidinones (eq. 261). Complex alkyl groups,706 aryl groups693,695,922,1140,1601 and...
