Pyrazoline synthesis


Hello! I'm trying to make a 1,3,5-triaryl pirazoline from the condensation of a chalcone (1,3-diaryl-2-propenone) and benzoic hydrazide.

I tried 4 methods: in refluxing GAA (as catalyst and solvent), refluxing ethanol with a few drops of AcOH, in the microwave with AcOH and in the MW with GAA and ammonium acetate. None of them is working, no product is formed. I am very disappointed :(

What would you suggest me to do???


btw, the machanism is not quite elucidated. It is thought that the NH2 of the hydrazide attacks the carbonyl first, as no open product was isolated in the literature, as far as i know.




Bromine, definitely bromine.

@NexusDNA, Can you provide us with a reference please. Some years ago I did some work on substituted pyrazolone from beta-ketoesters and substituted phenylhydazines following a paper from a couple of Indian authors and while the simple ones worked I found the heavily substitute one difficult or impossible to cyclotise.

RAGHAV, N. GARG, S. N-formylpyrazolines and N-benzoylpyrazolines as novel inhibitors of mammalian cathepsin B and cathepsin H. Bioorganic Chemistry, 2014.

SRINIVAS, M. et al. Microwave adsisted synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some novel quinoxaline compounds. India: Mother Teresa College of Pharmacy, 2013.

first one is themal, second one MW. In my case I'm using 1-(3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-3-(2-naphtyl)-propenone.

Gorgeous color. Reminds me of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine which is a bit darker and more wine-ish

Did you do this with 1,3-diaryl-2-propenone and benzoic hydrazide? I'm not familiar with this cyclization. The ones I do require strong base. Did you insert a catalyst? Does it cyclize due to stearic and energetic factors? Like everybody else I love the color! All my products are white and bitter. What does it taste like? Pyrazoline looks like a very interesting intermediate for medicinal chemistry. I would like to make an acyl halide from the stuff. No telling what wonderful activity might be evolved.
@mods: if words like halide aren't in our dictionary could we at least have an "ignore" option in the spell check? Maybe some kind person could edit the dictionary so that chemical terms aren't underlined with color of UC235's product. Congratulations UC! Good job.

N' methoxy pyrazinyl-3,4-methylenedioxyphenylpropanamine anyone?

Sorry for the late reply!

It doesnt require strong catalysts at all, in the literature they use GAA as a mild acid catalyst. I could not obtain the desired product with benzoic hydrazide, so i broke the procedure in two steps: reacting the chalcone with hydrazine hydrate and then reacting the formed pyrazoline with benzoyl chloride.

side note: I've seen some articles in which they test N-tosyl derivatives (instead of benzoyl chloride, TsCl) as potential MAO inhibitors with excellent results. I won't try bioassaying my product though!! :P

Here is the mechanism though to be operative:
