A method of preparation of 5 amino 3,4 dinitropyrazole (1) from 3(5) methyl 5(3) nitro and 3(5) methyl 4,5(3) dinitropyrazoles was developed, the key step of which was the Hofmann rearrengement of nitro and dinitropyrazolecarboxamides. The protonation of 5 amino 3,4 dinitropyrazole was studied by spectral methods (UV spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy). In spite of low basicity of the amino group, compound 1 undergoes N arylation, N nitration, and annulation reactions with formation of dinitropyrazolo[5,1 a]pyrimidine derivatives and hitherto unknown dinitroimidazo[1,2 b]pyrazole derivatives. Diazotization of 1 leads to 5 diazo 3,4 dinitropyrazole (19), which exists in the form of the internal salt. Some reactions of this compound were studied and the formation of the corresponding 5 halogeno(azido) 3,4 dinitropyrazoles under the action of the halide and azide ion was shown. Dinitropyrazolo [5,1 c][1,2,4]triazine and 7 hydroxydinitro 4,7 dihydropyrazolo[5,1 c] [1,2,4]triazine deriva tives were obtained by the action of active methylene compounds on the betaine 19.
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.
