Abstract

A four-step synthesis of 1-substituted 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1H-pyrazoles 5 as a novel type of histamine analogs and versatile building blocks for further transformations was developed. The synthesis starts from commercially available 2-nitroacetophenone (12), which is converted into the enamino ketone 13 as the key intermediate. Cyclization of the key intermediate 13 with monosubstituted hydrazines 14a14l afforded the 5-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazoles 17a17l. Finally, catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro compounds 17a, 17c17e, and 17g17j furnished the title compounds 5a, 5c5e, and 5g5j, respectively, in good yields. As demonstrated by some further transformations, additional functionalization of compounds 17 and 5 is feasible, either by electrophilic substitution at C(4) of the pyrazole ring, or at the NH2 group.
