Novel compounds, which are aryl-pyrrolyl-imine derivatives of the Formula I ##STR1## and acid addition salts thereof are disclosed; which compounds may be prepared by the acid catalyzed condensation of an imidoyl chloride with a lower alkyl pyrrole-2-acetate; and which compounds are useful as intermediates to form by hydrolysis, the known useful ketone analogs which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity; and certain of which compounds have antisecretory, anti-irritable bowel, antidiarrheal and general behavior effect on the CNS properties.
approach to 4-substituted imidazo[4,5-c]pyrazoles is proposed on the basis of the N′-(4-halopyrazol-5-yl)amidine cyclization under the conditions of copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Using 5-aminopyrazoles and copper catalysts as starting materials, the method is inexpensive and convenient and allows a wide range of substituents at all positions of the imidazo[4,5-c]pyrazole nucleus.
