A novel strategy for N‐chlorosuccinimide mediated direct sulfenylation of 1‐aryl pyrazolones using aryl thiols has been developed at room temperature. The protocol was found to be simple, efficient and transition metal‐free to afford the target products in good to excellent yields without further purification. The prepared compounds were characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The skeleton of one of the synthesized compounds has been well confirmed by X‐ray single crystal diffraction (XRD) analysis as well as ORTEP diagram.
The synthesis of a novel tolylthiopyrazol bearing methyl group has been achieved by transition metal free N-chlorosuccinimide mediated direct sulfenylation of 1-aryl pyrazolones at room temperature. The product obtained was characterized by spectroscopic techniques and finally confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The compound 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-(p-tolylthio)-1H-pyrazol-5-ol (m.f. C17H15N2OSCl) crystallizes in monoclinic crystal class in space group P21/c with cell parameters a =
9.6479(5) Å, b = 15.1233(8) Å, c = 11.4852(6) Å, β = 108.374(2)°, V=1590.4(2) Å3 and Z = 4. The
final residual factor R1 = 0.0499.
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.
