Abstract
En 中文
5-Aminopyrazoles are extensively used as building blocks in medicinal chemistry. However, selective protection of endo- and exocyclic nitrogen atoms is challenging. Here, we describe a convenient protocol for the synthesis of 1-Boc-protected 5-aminopyrazoles through Michael addition of cyanide to azoalkenes followed by spontaneous cyclization of the resulting alpha-cyanohydrazones. The process utilizes readily available alpha-halohydrazones, acetone cyanohydrin as a safer substitute for cyanide, and aqueous DMSO as the reaction medium. The method enables further synthetic diversification of the resulting 1-Boc-5-aminopyrazoles through reactions with electrophilic agents.
