Regiospecific synthesis of new non-condensed heteropolycyclic systems from beta-heteroaryl-beta-methoxyvinyl trihalomethyl ketones

A novel series of twelve heteroaroyl-2-pyrazolines trihalomethyl and substituted heteroaryl, as non-condensed heteropolycyclic systems, have been synthesized in one-step in 50-78% yield from the regiospecific cyclocondensation reaction of 1,1,1-trifluoro(chloro)-4-methoxy-4-(2-furyl)- and 4-(2-thienyl)-3-buten-2-ones (b-alkoxyvinyl trihalometil ketones) with furoic hydrazide, 2-thiophenecarboxylic hydrazide and isonicotinic acid hydrazide (heteroaroylhydrazines) under mild conditions in methanol as solvent.

Synthesis of Tetrahydro‐2(1H)quinazolinones, Cyclopenta[d]‐2(1H)pyrimidinones, and Their Thioxo Analogs from 2‐Trifluoroacetyl‐1‐methoxycycloalkenes

Abstract A series of six (8)‐alkyl‐4‐trifluoromethyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐2(1H)quinazolinones, 4‐trifluoromethyl‐cyclopenta[d]‐2(1H)pyrimidinones, and their thioxo analogs from the reaction of five β‐alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones, derived from alkylated cyclohexanones and cyclopentanone with urea and thiourea, is reported. The reactions were carried out in a single step in propan‐2‐ol as solvent and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as catalyst in 18–65% yield.

Reactions of β-methoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with 2-pyridinecarboxamidrazone

Abstract A new series of six 3-aryl-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1-picolinoylpyrazole hydrochlorides were synthesised in one-step in high yields by the reaction of β-methoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with 2-pyridinecarboxamidrazone in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloride salts were easily converted to the respective new series of free trifluoromethylated 4,5-dihydro-1H-1-picolinoylpyrazoles using triethylamine in anhydrous diethyl ether. X-ray structure and 35 Cl NMR data from the pyrazole hydrochlorides are reported.
