Abstract

Reaction of α,β-ethynyl ketones and hydrazine derivatives gives 1,3- and 1,5-disubstituted pyrazoles in good yield. Microwave irradiation in concentrated hydrochloric acid-methanol (1.5% v/v), with concurrent cooling at sub-ambient temperatures or at 120 °C, for 30 or 2 minutes, respectively, facilitates rapid heterocyclization and preferentially gives the 1,3-disubstituted regioisomer.

Key words

ethynyl ketones - pyrazoles - heterocycles - microwave synthesis - concurrent heating and cooling

All pyrazoles exhibited satisfactory characterization data, including ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, MS and HRMS.

Qualitative NOESY effects were seen for 1,3-disubstituted pyrazoles (Table [4] , entries 1, 6 and 8) between the aryl ortho-methine resonances and the pyrazole methine signals, the latter of which were well separated (see ref. 3) in chemical shift in the ¹H NMR spectrum of both pyrazole regioisomers. The 5-ethyl-trisubstituted pyrazole (entry 4) showed NOESY effects between the aryl ortho-methine resonances and the methylene protons.
