Pyrazoles, 1 -aryl-4-

Pyrazoles. Aryl-substituted pyrazoles (3) are available in 68-80% overall yield from enimines (1) by condensation with thionyl chloride in pyridine followed by thermal extrusion of SO to form the N—N bond. 

A large variety of newer poly(ether imide)s has been described. Included among these are perfluorinated polymers (96), poly(ester ether imide)s (97), poly(ether imide)s derived from A/,Ar-diamino-l,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxyHcbisimide (98), and poly(arylene ether imide ketone)s (99). In addition, many other heterocyHc groups have been introduced into polyether systems, eg, poly(pyrazole ether)s (100) and poly(aryl ether phenylquinoxaLine)s (101) poly(aryl ether oxazole)s with trifluoromethyl groups (102) and polyethers with other heterolinkages, eg, poly(arylether azine)s (103). 

There are some recent examples of this type of synthesis of pyridazines, but this approach is more valuable for cinnolines. Alkyl and aryl ketazines can be transformed with lithium diisopropylamide into their dianions, which rearrange to tetrahydropyridazines, pyrroles or pyrazoles, depending on the nature of the ketazlne. It is postulated that the reaction course is mainly dependent on the electron density on the carbon termini bearing anionic charges (Scheme 65) (78JOC3370). 

The pyrazole ring is generally stable to oxidation and side chains are oxidized to carbonyl groups (66AHC(6)347). l-Aryl-3-methylpyrazoles (134) react with ozone to yield 1,3,4-oxadiazolinones (135) (66AHC(7)183). 

If the fV-aryl group is strongly activated, then it can be removed in nucleophilic substitution reactions in which the azole anion acts as leaving group. Thus l-t2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyrazole reacts with N2H4 or NaOMe. 

From UV studies of 4-phenyl-, 4-nitro- and 4-nitroso-pyrazoles, Habraken et al. (67RTC1249,72JHC939) conclude that the 4-pyrazolyl group acts as an electron-donating group. UV spectra of pairs of 1-aryl- and 2-aryl-indazoles and their utility in the determination of isomeric structures are discussed in (67BSF2619) many other UV data on indazole derivatives can be found in (71PMH(3)67). 

Addition of pyrazole to C—X double bonds is also common. Formaldehyde gives stable adducts (260) and (261) (69BSF2064), but in the addition to ketones, (262) is only observed at low temperatures (Section 4.04.1.3.3(i)). However, hexafluoroacetone forms a stable adduct (262 R = Cp3) that has been used as a chelating agent (Section 4.04.2.1.3(iv)). Addition of pyrazoles to aryl isocyanates affords (263) the addition is also reversible, but it requires high temperatures to dissociate the adduct (Section 4.04.1.5.1). 

Some tricyclic systems have been prepared by intramolecular cyclization from A-aryl-pyrazoles carrying substituents both in the pyrazole ring at C-5 and in the phenyl ring at the o-position. Thus pyrazolo[l,5-n]quinazolines (563) (69JHC947) and pyrazolo[l,5-n]-[l,4]benzodiazepines (564) (77JHC1163, 77JHC1171) can be prepared from suitable precursors. 

In these types of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition only one of two possible isomers is obtained and the pyrazole functions have different orientations by the two methods. Another classical synthesis of pyrazoles (Section 4.04.3.2.l(ii)), the reaction between hydrazines and )3-diketones, has been used with success to prepare high molecular weight polypyrazoles (Scheme 65) (81MI40400). A-Arylation (Section 4.04.2.1.3(ix)) of 4,4 -dipyrazolyl with 1,4-diiodobenzene also yields polymeric pyrazoles (69RRC1263).

The use of diphenyl hydrazone 33 has been used in the synthesis of pyrazoles under modified conditions where the hydrazine is released in situ. Some reversal of regiochemistry is seen in the reaction with unsymmetrical dicarbonyls. With aryl hydrazine and diphenyl hydrazone, the ratio of 41 to 42 is 22 1 and 5 1, respectively. 

Sanofi-Synthelabo researchers discovered pyrazole 53 and analogs to have potent Cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB-1) antagonist/inverse agonist activity and have progressed 53 into development for treatment of obesity and alcohol dependence. The synthesis of 53 was accomplished by heating the diketone sodium salt 51 with the aryl hydrazine hydrochloride in acetic acid to provide the intermediate 52, which was further derivatized... 

In an altogether different type of approach, the hydrazone is formed in situ as a lithium salt. Wilson et al. (80JHC389) described this approach in the one-pot synthesis of 5-aryl-2-phenylpyrazol-3-ones 72a-f from the corresponding hydrazones 65a-f (Scheme 20). The latter were obtained by condensing ketones 64a-f with phenylhydrazine. Treatment of hydrazones 65a-f with n-butyllithium in dry THF, followed by the addition of half a molar equivalent of diethyl carbonate 67 and then quenching the reaction mixture with hydrochloric acid, produced pyrazol-3-ones 72a-f, along with products 71. The yields of the products 72 are in the range 22-97%. Four intermediates—66a-f, 68a-f, 69a-f, and 70a-f— were proposed for this reaction. 

The cycloaddition reaction of compound 6 with N-aryl- and N-aralkylazides 23 was also investigated (967(52)7183). Thiadiazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexene derivatives 25 were obtained from the labile triazoline intermediate 24 through nitrogen elimination. This bicyclic system underwent thermal transformation, producing thiadiazine dioxides 26 as the main product together with thiazete dioxides 27 and pyrazoles 28.

Recently, the pyrazole group containing bisphenols have been synthesized from activated aromatic dihalides and 3,5-bis (4-hydroxy phenyl)-4-phenyl pyrazole or 3,5-bis(4-hydroxy phenyl)-1,4-diphenyl pyrazole. A novel synthesis of imido aryl containing bisphenols has been reported [32]. N-substituted l,4-bis(4-hydroxy phenyl)-2,3-naphthalimides were prepared from phenolphthalein and copolymerized with aromatic sulfone or ketone difluorides to obtain the poly(imidoaryl ether) sulfones/ ketones.
