Highly-substituted pyrazoles and pyridazines by MIRC reactions of hydrazone anions and nitrobutadienic fragments
摘要:
In prosecution of the synthetic exploitation of nitrobutadienes deriving from the initial ring-opening of nitrothiophenes, their multifaceted behavior finds a further clear-cut example in their Michael-type acceptor reactivity toward the anions of alpha-oxohydrazones. Thus, depending on the starting diene, new poly-functionalized pyrazoles are obtained. Furthermore, most interestingly, in one occasion a dichotomy has been observed, depending on the nature of the Michael-type donor, leading with complete selectivity to either 5-member or 6-member N-heterocycles. The outcome encompasses motifs for both mechanistic and synthetic interest, for example, in the field of heterocycles endowed with possible pharmacological/biological activity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The initial ring-opening of 3-nitrothiophene and further structural modifications lead to nitrobutadienic building-blocks whose synthetic usefulness in the field of heterocycles has been widely demonstrated. As a further example, the Michael addition of a hydrazone anion to the nitrovinyl moiety of nitrobutadienes generates 1,2-diazaheterocycles as the final result of an overall MIRC process. Depending on the nature of the substituents on the Michael-type acceptor and on the hydrazono nucleophile, an interesting dichotomy is observed that leads to either five-member or six-member N-heterocycles with complete selectivity. The results obtained appear to be both of mechanistic and synthetic interest e.g., in the field of heterocycles endowed with potential pharmacological/biological activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
