Abstract

The 1:1 zwitterionic intermediates formed from the reaction of trialkyl phosphites with acetylenic esters were trapped by hydrazonoyl chlorides to yield dialkyl 4-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-1-phenyl-3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4,5-dicarboxylates in good yields. This three-component synthesis of phosphorylated dihydro-1H-pyrazoles produces only one diasteromer.

Key words

pyrazoles - trialkyl phosphites - acetylenic esters - hydrazonoyl chlorides - MCR

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compound 4 To a stirred solution of P(OR)3 (1 mmol) and hydrazonyl chloride 3 (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added acetylenic ester 2 (1 mmol) at r.t. After completion of the reaction (10 h), as indicated by TLC (hexane-EtOAc, 5:1), the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the light cream residue was separated by silica gel (Merck 230400 mesh) column chromatography using hexane-EtOAc mixture as eluant to afford the pure products.

A referee of this paper suggested a mechanistic alternative, involving the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrilimine (formed by extrusion of HCl from the hydrazonoyl chlorides) to the P-substituted fumarate (product of the reaction of HCl, the phosphite, and the acetylenedi-carboxylate). Although we are unable to rule out this possibility, we prefer the mechanism shown in Scheme  [²] .
