The pyrazole 7 was diazotized in the presence of hydrochloric acid in acetic acid to give in situ the diazonium chloride 9. The latter was coupled with malononitrile to afford 2-pyrazolylhydrazonomesoxalonitrile 10, which could be converted into aminopyrazolone 11 by reaction with hydrazine hydrate. The phenylhydrazone 13 reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford the oxime 18 that could be readily converted into the nitrile 19 either by refluxing in a solution of sodium acetate in acetic acid or by heating in a microwave oven (MW). Compound 19 reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give amidooxime 20 either by refluxing in dioxane or by heating in MW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
