3- pyrazoles, reactions with

One of the reactions is projected in that part of the Kohonen network where mostly reactions leading to the preferred regioisomer pyrazole were projected. The other reaction was projected in neuron (7,7), which lies in a region where reactions with low yield are projected. 

The need for pyrazoles substituted with the trifluoroacetyl group led to the reaction of ethoxyvinyl ether with trifluoroacetic anhydride, yielding 4-ethoxy-l,l,l-trifluoro-3-buten-2-one (38) this further reacted with aldehyde / fZ-butyUiydrazones, and after cyclization at room temperature under mildly acidic conditions the pyrazoles were obtained in satisfactory yields (eq. 7). Further treatment with H2SO4 removed the tert-huty group, thus providing an opportunity for further derivatization at N. ... 

From Multiring Systems Containing Pyrazoles. The pyrazolopyrimidine (65) on treatment with diazomethane forms the cyclopropane (66), which undergoes a ring-opening reaction with potassium hydroxide to yield the pyrazole (67) (eq. 16) (44). 

Substituted imidazoles can be acylated at the 2-position by acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine. This reaction proceeds by proton loss on the (V-acylated intermediate (241). An analogous reaction with phenyl isocyanate gives (242), probably via a similar mechanism. Benzimidazoles react similarly, but pyrazoles do not (80AHC(27)24l) cf. Section 4.02.1.4.6). 

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. 

The methylhydrazone of acetophenone (112) underwent ready reaction with n-butyl-lithium giving the dianion (113) reaction with acid derivatives such acid chlorides or esters resulted in pyrazole (114) formation whereas with aldehydes, pyrazolines were obtained (76SC5). With dichloromethyleneiminium salts (115), 5-dimethylaminopyrazoles... 

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. 

The pyrazole ring is particularly difficult to cleave and, amongst the azoles, pyrazoles together with the 1,2,4-triazoles are the most stable and easiest to work with. This qualitative description of pyrazole stability covers the neutral, anionic and cationic aromatic species. On the other hand, the saturated or partially saturated derivatives can be considered as hydrazine derivatives their ring opening reactions usually involve cleavage of the N—C bond and seldom cleavage of the N—N bond. It should be noted, however, that upon irradiation or electron impact the N—N bond of pyrazoles can be broken. 

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). 

Another possibility is that both nitrogen atoms react with a double alkylating agent. In this way fused pyrazole derivatives (pyrazolo[l,2-a]pyrazoles) like (237) can be obtained by reaction of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole with 1,3-dichloropropane or l-chloro-3-propanol (69BSF2064). More surprising is the reaction with a-chlorocarbonylphenylketene which yields the paraionic compound (238) (80JA3971) which can also be obtained from 3,5-dihydroxy-4-phenylpyrazole and /3-dicarbonyl compounds (82JOC295). 

In the preceding parts of Section 4.04.2.1.3 the electrophilic attack on pyrazolic nitrogen with the concomitant formation of different classes of N—R bond has been examined N—H (iv, v), N—metal (vi), N—C(sp ) (vii, viii, xi), N—C(sp ) (be, x, xi), N—SO2R (x), N—halogen (xii), N—O (xiii) and N—-N (xiv). In this last part the reaction with other Lewis acids leading to the formation of pyrazole N—metalloid bonds will be discussed, and the study of their reactivity will be dealt with in Section 4.04.2.3.lO(viii). 

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). 

Reaction of the pyrazole anion with (498 Y = NO2, X = Cl) in DMSO yields the pyrazolyl-pyrazole (500) (81M675). 

Azomethines add with great ease and stereospecificity to carbon-carbon double bonds affording pyrazolidines. They also add to carbon-carbon triple bonds with the formation of pyrazolines. Benzimidazolium iV-imines, e.g. (622), are a special case of azomethines. Its reaction with DMAD yields l-(2-methylaminophenyl)pyrazole (624), which is formed by cleavage of the initial adduct (623) (75JHC225). 

Methylvinyldiazirine (199) rearranges at room temperature in the course of some days. Formation of the linear isomer is followed by electrocyclic ring closure to give 3-methyl-pyrazole. The linear diazo compound could be trapped by its reaction with acids to form esters, while the starting diazirine (199) is inert towards acids (B-71MI50801). 

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. 

There are two methods for the introduction of a hydroxyalkyl group at position 5 of the pyrazol-3-one ring. Schmidt and Zimmer converted furanediones 258a-k into arylmethylenepyrazol-3-reaction with hydrazine hydrate or methylhydrazine (83Jmechanism proposed for the reaction involves nucleophilic attack of the hydrazine on the ketone carbonyl, followed by attack on the ester carbonyl and ring opening of the... 

Molybdenum and tungsten hexacarbonyls are able to form anionic complexes (AsPli4)2[(OC)4M( -pz)2M(CO)4] upon reaction with sodium pyrazolate and PluAsCl (72CB3203). The cationic complexes [(rj -Cp)2Mo(/Lt-pz)2Mo(rj -Cp)2] " (n = 2, 3) are known as well (74HCA1988). The other representatives of the complexes containing an exobidentate ligand (26) are derived from 4//-pyrazoles [70ZAAC(379)169].
