ChemInform Abstract: N‐Alkylation of Pyrazolones with OH‐Protection.

Abstract

N-Alkylation of Pyrazolones with OH-Protection.-Alkylation of pyrazole (I) with (II) affords the biheterocyclic product of intramolecular cyclisation (III) instead of the desired compound (VII). Thus, selective protection of the OH function of (I) under mild basic conditions with (IV) in THF (in MeCN N-protection takes place) is necessary for selective N-alkylation to give (VI). The latter is deprotected under mild conditions. -(HICHOUR, M.; MARY, F.; MARZIN, C.; NAJI, M.; TARRAGO, G.; J. Heterocycl. Chem. 30 (1993) 4, 1097-1100; Equipe Chim. Supramol., Univ.
