Abstract
AbstractOn treatment of 3‐amino‐5‐aryl‐1H‐pyrazoles 1 with dialkyl dicyanofumarates (=(E)‐but‐2‐enedioates) 4 in boiling 1,2‐dichloroethane, two competitive reactions occurred leading to 3‐aryl‐5‐cyano‐6,7‐dihydro‐6‐oxo‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐4‐carboxylates 10 and 7‐amino‐2‐arylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐5,6‐dicarboxylates 11. In DMF at room temperature, as well as at 100°, only compounds 10 were isolated. The formation of the major products of type 10 was rationalized via Michael addition of 1 as a C(4)‐nucleophile onto 4, followed by HCN elimination and lactamization. On the other hand, the minor products 11 result from a Michael addition of 1 onto 4 via the NH2 group, and subsequent HCN elimination and cyclization. The structures of the products have been established by X‐ray crystallography.
