Description
Summary:Experimental evidence on the powerful biological activity of pirazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines] has been supported by several reports in the last years, which has made possible their wide utilization in the pharmaceutical industry. For this reason, the synthesis of these condensed heterocycles has been carried out with increasing interest. The purpose of the work was to develop a new simpler synthesis method with good yields and purity than those reported for obtaining similar structures. Therefore the presence of reactive centres in alquene and dithiethane push pull systems was taken into account making possible the intramolecular cyclization subsequently to the initial nucleophilic attack of the cyanoacetahydrazide. The reaction behavior was studied in aloholic medium as dimethylformamide. In all cases, best results were achieved by using the aprotic dipolar solvent since it allows the stabilization of the polar transition states formed through the reaction course. It was demonstrated that the dithiethanes are less reactive than the keten-S,S-acetals. A reaction scheme is showed which is agreement with the general reaction mechanism proposed by Rappaport for the interaction between nucleophiles and push pull ethylenes. The structures of the most stable intermediate was established on the basis of the calculations performed by means of the MOPAC 6.0 program. The compounds synthesized were characterized adequately by means of their elemental quantitative analysis and several spectroscopic techniques IR, NMR, including the COLOC method, and the Mass Spectrometry.
