Pyrazole is an organic compound of azole group with the formula C3H3N2H. It is a heterocycle characterized by a 5-membered ring of three carbon atoms and two adjacent nitrogen atoms, which are in ortho-substitution. Pyrazole is a weak base, with pKb 11.5 (pKa of the conjugate acid 2.49 at 25 °C).[2] Pyrazoles are also a class of compounds that have the ring C3N2 with adjacent nitrogen atoms.[3] Notable drugs containing a pyrazole ring are celecoxib (celebrex) and the anabolic steroid stanozolol.

Preparation and reactions

Pyrazoles are synthesized by the reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with hydrazine and subsequent dehydrogenation:[4]

Substituted pyrazoles are prepared by condensation of 1,3-diketones with hydrazine (Knorr-type reactions).[5] For example, acetylacetone and hydrazine gives 3,5-dimethylpyrazole:[6]

CH3C(O)CH2C(O)CH3   +   N2H4   →   (CH3)2C3HN2H   +   2 H2O

History

The term pyrazole was given to this class of compounds by German Chemist Ludwig Knorr in 1883.[7] In a classical method developed by German chemist Hans von Pechmann in 1898, pyrazole was synthesized from acetylene and diazomethane.[8]

Conversion to scorpionates

Pyrazoles react with potassium borohydride to form a class of ligands known as scorpionate. Pyrazole itself reacts with potassium borohydride at high temperatures (~200 °C) to form a tridentate ligand known as Tp ligand:

3,5-Diphenyl-1H-pyrazole

3,5-Diphenyl-1H-pyrazole is produced when (E)-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one is reacted with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of elemental sulfur[9] or sodium persulfate,[10] or by using a hydrazone in which case an azine is produced as a by-product.[11]

Occurrence and uses

Celecoxib, a pyrazole derivative used as an analgesic

In 1959, the first natural pyrazole, 1-pyrazolyl-alanine, was isolated from seeds of watermelons.[12][13]

In medicine, derivatives of pyrazole are widely used,[14] including celecoxib and similar COX-2 inhibitors, zaleplon, betazole, and CDPPB.[15]

The pyrazole ring is found within a variety of pesticides as fungicides, insecticides and herbicides,[14] including fenpyroximate, fipronil, tebufenpyrad and tolfenpyrad.[16] Pyrazole moieties are listed among the highly used ring systems for small molecule drugs by the US FDA[17]

3-(Difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid is used in the manufacture of six commercial fungicides which are inhibitors of succinate dehydrogenase.[18][19]
