1,2,3-Triketone 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)hydrazones were synthesized via the azo-coupling reactions of 1,3-diketones with 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)diazonium chloride. The fluoroalkyl-containing hetarylhydrazone enters into cyclocondensation with hydrazines at the 1,3-dicarbonyl fragment to yield 3-tetrafluoroethyl derivatives of pyrazole. It was found that 1,2,3-triketone 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)hydrazones and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-substituted pyrazole exhibit analgesic activity comparable with that of their structural analog analgin (metamizole sodium), but do not possess antipyretic properties. In contrast, N-phenyl-substituted pyrazole did not exhibit analgesic properties but produced a certain antipyretic effect four hours after pyrogenic administration. Fluoroalkyl-containing compounds are less toxic substances than nonfluorinated 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)hydrazone and analgin.As is known, the widely used analgesic and antipyretic drugs are rather toxic substances [1]. We attempted to modify the antipyrine structure so as to obtain new low-toxicity compounds possessing analgesic and antipyretic properties.Using the azo-coupling reactions of 1,3-diketones (Ia and Ib) with 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)diazonium chloride (II) in the presence of sodium acetate, we obtained the corresponding 1,2,3-triketone 2-(antipyrin-4-yl)hydrazones (IIIa and IIIb). The proposed structures of these products were confirmed by the data of elemental analyses and the results of IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopic measurements. Indeed, the presence of characteristic absorption bands due to carbonyl groups (at 1660 -1680 cm -1 ) and a weak band due to the stretching vibrations of amino groups of the hydrazone fragment (at 3300 -3470 cm -1 ) in the IR spectra, as well as the absence of signals from methane protons in the 1 H NMR spectra, showed evidence for a hydrazone-diketone tautomer structure of the synthesized compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
