Eller* and Wolfgang Holzer Department of Drug Synthesis, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, Austria Phone: +43-1-4277-55634, e-mail: gernot.eller@univie.ac.at *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed Received: 3 January 2006 / Accepted: 4 January 2006 / Published: 22 January 2006 Keywords: Pyrazolone, cyclization, NMR spectroscopy, tautomerism. Abstract: The fully unsubstituted pyrazolone (= 2-pyrazolin-5-one, which is tautomer to 1H-pyrazol-3-ol and 1H-pyrazol-5-ol) was prepared from hydrazine hydrate and methyl (2E)-3- 1 13 15 methoxyacrylate in almost quantitative yield. Detailed spectroscopic data ( H NMR, C NMR, N NMR, MS) for this compound are presented. Substituted 2-pyrazolin-5-ones play an important role as substructures of numerous pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, pigments, as well as chelating agents and thus attract remarkable attention [1,2]. Recently, we investigated the synthesis of some N1-unsubstituted pyrazolones by use of the PMB (p-methoxybenzyl) protecting group [3,4]. Although this substituent proved to be conveniently removable from various 4-substituted pyrazolones upon treatment with refluxing trifluoroacetic acid only poor results were obtained when the parent 1-PMB-pyrazolone (= 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2,4-dihydro- 3H-pyrazol-3-one [3]) was subjected to these conditions. Even prolonged heating (1 week instead of 1 day) did not effect full deprotection (1 day ~ 15%, 2 days ~ 35%, 7 days ~ 75%; monitored by mean of H NMR). Hence, there is need for other and more suitable methods for the synthesis of the unsubstituted pyrazolone 1. With respect to the fact that other hitherto described syntheses of 1 are characterized by multi-step procedures and/or low yields [5,6], we report here an almost quantitative one-step preparation of the fully unsubstituted pyrazolone system from hydrazine hydrate and methyl (2E)-3-methoxyacrylate following an already known procedure for the synthesis of 1-alkyl pyrazolones [7] (Scheme 1). Scheme 1. One-step procedure for the preparation of ‘pyrazolone’ 1. A considerable number of studies deal with the prototropic tautomerism of pyrazolones [8]. Determination of the tautomeric composition of compound 1 is quite challenging as eight possible tautomeric forms have to be considered. This may also be a reason why in the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) references are cited for all possible tautomeric forms of compound 1 (Figure 1) except for form E. From the signal multiplicities in the carbon NMR spectra tautomeric forms B, C, F, G, and H can be excluded. Moreover, the N NMR chemical shifts found for compound 1 (–126.5 ppm and –192.0 ppm) rule out form A, as for this tautomer a much smaller chemical shift for the =CH–NH– atom has to be expected (for instance, in phenazone – 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one – which is structurally related to form A this atom exhibits a chemical shift of –245.1 ppm [9]). The differentiation 1 von 3 24.02.2009 12:54 Molbank 2004 http://www.mdpi.org/molbank/molbank2006/m464.htm between forms D and E is not a trivial task. However, from comparison of the C chemical shifts, the 15 3 13 1 N chemical shifts, the J(H,H) coupling constants, and the different C, H-coupling constants of 1 with those of the corresponding N-phenyl analogues (1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ol, 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol) [10,11] we assume that form D is predominating in DMSO-d solution. Nevertheless an additional contribution of other isomers (in minor amounts) can not be ruled out. Figure 1. Possible tautomeric forms of ‘pyrazolone’ 1. Compound 1: Under stirring, to a solution of 5.81 g (50 mmol) of methyl (2E)-3-methoxyacrylate in methanol (5 mL) was hydrazine hydrate (2.75 g, 55 mmol) added and the mixture was refluxed for 1h. Evaporation under reduced pressure to dryness gave 4.13 g (98%) of a slightly yellowish powder, pure according to H NMR spectroscopy. Melting point: 160–162 °C, crystal modifications starting at ~140 °C, (lit. [12] 162–164 °C).
