Abstract

The reaction of hydrazide 4 with β-keto esters 5 gave hydrazones 6. Cyclization of 6 with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent (DMF-POCl3) for 20 min at room temperature gave 1-(4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters 7. The treatment of 4 with substituted acetophenones 8 yielded the corresponding hydrazones 9 of substituted acetophenones. The treatment of 9 with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent (DMF-POCl3) for 30 min at room temperature gave product 10, the reaction of which with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in ethanol at room temperature for 12 h in the presence of molecular iodine furnished 7.

Introduction

Pyrazoles possess a wide range of useful biological activities such as antibacterial [1–5], anti-inflammatory [6–9], and antiviral [10, 11] properties. They are also useful luminescent and fluorescent [12] substances and an important class of chemicals in the development of cine films. Pyrimidinopyrazoles are being studied as drug candidates against cancer [13]. In continuation of earlier work on the synthesis of naphthyridinonoes [14, 15], it was considered worthwhile to prepare naphthyridine derivatives containing a pyrazolyl group as compounds with potentially useful biological properties.

Results and discussion

The starting hydrazide 4 was prepared as described previously [16] as summarized in Scheme 1. Condensation of 2-aminopyridine 1 with ethoxymethylenemalonic ester in ethanol under reflux conditions for 4 h yielded the intermediate product 2 [17], the thermal cyclization of which in polyphosphoric acid for 30 min resulted in the formation of 1,8-naphthyridine derivative 3 [17]. Treatment of 3 with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol for 3 h yielded 4.

Treatment of 4a with methyl acetoacetate (5a) in methanol under reflux conditions for 1 h yielded product 6a. Cyclization of 6a using Vilsmeier-Haack reagent (DMF-POCl3) at room temperature for 20 min yielded 3-methyl-1-(4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (7a). The 1H NMR spectrum of 7a shows the disappearance of the methylene proton signal and N-N-H proton signal that are observed in the spectrum of the substrate 6a. The proton signal for the newly formed pyrazole ring appears at δ 8.27. This structure is also fully consistent with mass spectral and elemental analysis data.

This series of transformations was successfully extended on the preparations of the corresponding analogs 6b–h and 7b–h. All these products were fully characterized as discussed above for 6a and 7a.

Substrates 4a,b were also allowed to react with substituted acetophenones 8a–e to give the corresponding hydrazides 9a–j (Scheme 2). The treatment of 9a–j with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent at room temperature for 30 min caused cyclization to yield the corresponding products 10a–j. Further, 10a was treated with (diacetoxyiodo) benzene in ethanol in the presence of molecular iodine at room temperature for 12 h. This reaction furnished product which was found to be identical with 7e obtained is discussed above. This interesting transformation involves oxidation of the aldehyde function of 10a followed by esterification of the resultant intermediate carboxylic acid or its derivative.

Conclusion

Simple methods for the preparation of 3-methyl-1-(4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl esters 7 and 1-(4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 10 using a Vilsmeier-Haack reagent are reported.

Experimental section

All reagents used in this work were obtained from commercial suppliers. Solvents were freshly distilled before use. Melting points are uncorrected and were determined using open capillary tubes in a sulfuric acid bath. TLC analyses were done on glass plates coated with silica gel GF-254 and visualization was done using treatment with iodine or illumination with a UV lamp. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer model 1000 instrument in KBr pellets. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 on a 400-MHz Varian Gemini spectrometer. Electrospray ionization mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent LC-MS instrument. Elemental analyses were performed on a Varian 3LV analyzer series CHN analyzer.

General procedure for the preparation of 6

A mixture of 4 (10 mmol), β-ketoester (5a–d) (10 mmol) and methanol (20 mL) was heated under reflux for 1 h and then poured into ice-cold water (25 mL). The separated solid was filtered, washed with water (2×20 mL) and dried, and crystallized from ethanol to give analytically pure product 6a–h.

Preparation of 7 from 10

A mixture of 10a (10 mmol), iodine (5 mmol), (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (15 mmol), and ethanol (25 mL) was stirred for 12 h, then poured onto crushed ice (25 mL) and extracted with CHCl3 (2×10 mL). The organic extract was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated, and the residue of 7e crystallized from ethanol.
