Reaction of 4-amino-l-azabutadienes (45) with various hydrazine salts at 60°C leads to the expected pyrazoles (46) without isolation of the hydrazone intermediate (eq. 8) (39). 

Substituted isoxazoles, pyrazoles and isothiazoles can exist in two tautomeric forms (139, 140 Z = 0, N or S Table 37). Amino compounds exist as such as expected, and so do the hydroxy compounds under most conditions. The stability of the OH forms of these 3-hydroxy-l,2-azoles is explained by the weakened basicity of the ring nitrogen atom in the 2-position due to the adjacent heteroatom at the 1-position and the oxygen substituent at the 3-position. This concentration of electron-withdrawing groups near the basic nitrogen atom causes these compounds to exist mainly in the OH form. 

Amination at an azole ring nitrogen is known for Af-unsubstituted azoles. Thus 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid gives approximately equal amounts of the 1- (104) and 2-amino derivatives (105) (74AHC(16)33). Pyrazole affords (106) and indazole gives comparable amounts of the 1- and 2-amino derivatives. 

Nitro groups are easily reduced, catalytically or chemically, to give amino compounds, e.g. 4-nitroisothiazoles give the corresponding 4-amino derivatives (72AHC(i4)i). In the pyrazole series, intermediate nitroso compounds can be isolated. Nitrosoimidazoles are also relatively stable. 

Azolesulfonic acids frequently exist as zwitterions. The usual derivatives are formed, e.g. pyrazole-3-, -4- and -5-sulfonic acids all give sulfonyl chlorides with PCI5. The sulfonic acid group can be replaced by nucleophiles under more or less vigorous conditions, e.g. by hydroxyl in imidazole-4-sulfonic acids at 170 °C, and by hydroxyl or amino in thiazole-2-sulfonic acids. 

The imonium salt (199), obtained from ynamines and phosgeneimonium chloVide, underwent ready reaction with monosubstituted hydrazines to give the 3,5-bis(dimethyl-amino)pyrazole (200) (68T4217, 69T3453). Similarly, the adduct (201), resulting from the addition of phosgene to ynamines, likewise reacted with sym-disubstituted hydrazines to give pyrazoles (202). With hydroxylamine derivatives the isoxazolinone (203) was obtained.

Amino and sulfur analogues of pyrazolones also yield the aromatic quaternary salt (231 X = NH or S). If the pyrazole bears a substituent with a second pyridine-like nitrogen atom, an intramolecular bridge can be formed by reaction with a dihalogenoalkane. Thus pyrazol-I -ylpyridines react with 1,2-dibromoethane to form (233) (81JHC9). 

Surprisingly, there are very few examples of successful fV-oxidation of pyrazoles. Simple fV-alkylpyrazoles generally do not react with peracids (B-76MI40402,77JCS(P1)672). The only two positive results are the peracetic acid (hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid) transformation of 1-methylpyrazoIe into 1-methylpyrazole 2-oxide (268) in moderate yield and the peroxy-trifluoroacetic acid (90% hydrogen peroxide in trifluoroacetic acid) transformation of 5-amino-l-methylpyrazoIe into l-methyl-5-nitropyrazoIe 2-oxide (269). 

Substituted pyrazoles are formylated (Vilsmeier-Haack reaetion) and aeetylated (Friedel-Crafts reaction) at C-4 (B-76MI40402). Both hydroxy and amino substituents in positions 3 and 5 facilitate the reaetion (80ACH(105)127,80CHE1), but the heteroatoms eompete with the C-substitution. For instanee, when the amino derivative (91 R = = Ph, R = H)... 

Pyrazolines substituted at position 4 or 5 with hydroxy or amino groups readily eliminate a molecule of water or amine yielding pyrazoles. The 4-substituted derivatives are relatively more stable than the 5-substituted ones, because for the last group the lone pair at N-1 assists the elimination (407) -> (408) -> (409). The sulfonyl group at position 1 is also easily eliminated and this property is taken advantage of in Dorn s elegant synthesis of 3-aminopyrazole (Section 4.04.3.3.1). 

In addition to (461), Dorn has described the imine (463) isolated from 5-amino-l-methylpyrazole and arenesulfonyl chloride (80CHE1). Upon heating, or in the presence of triethylamine, it undergoes rearrangement to the more stable 5-bis(arylsul-fonamido)pyrazoles (464). 5-Iminopyrazolines (461) react with acyl chlorides at the exocyclic nitrogen atom to afford amidopyrazolium salts (B-76MI40402). 

This reactivity of A-unsubstituted amino-pyrazoles and -indazoles which can be regarded as 1,3-diamino derivatives has been used to build a great variety of fused six-membered heterocycles such as the 1,2,4-triazine derivatives (540) and (541), the 1,3,5-triazine derivatives (542) and (543), and benzothiadiazines (544). 

The pyrazole analogues of anthranilic acids or anthranilonitriles are a convenient source of [5.6] fused systems (for a general review see (80T2359)). Thus 5-amino-4-cyanopyrazoles (in some examples an ester or a hydrazido group replaced the cyano group) have been transformed into pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (552) and into pyrazolo[2,3-e]diazepinones (553), and 4-amino-5-methoxycarbonylpyrazoles have been converted into pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidines (554). 

The influenee of pyrazole derivatives on Prebiotie Condensation Reaetions of a-Amino Aeids indueed by polyphosphates in aqueous solution has been studied in eomparison with other azoles (81C59). In the ease of triglyeine formation the presenee of pyrazole did not inerease the yield signifieantly.
