Also, 4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one 10 is coupled with some diazonium salts to give coloured products 11, and reacted with isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give pyrazolylurea and thiourea derivatives which are then reacted with organohalogen compounds under PTC conditions to give 13,14 while with some active methylene compounds yielded 15 via Michael 1,4-addition reaction.

Introduction Pyrazoles and pyrazolones are very important class of heterocycles due to their biological and pharmacological activities,1'2 which exhibit an anti-inflammatory3 her-bicidal,4 fungicidal,5 bactericidal,5 plant growth regulating properties,4 antipyretic6 and protein kinase inhibitors.7 Also, they are used as key starting material for the synthesis of commercial aryl/heteroarylpyrazolone dyes.811 Some arylidenepyrazolones are used as anti-fungal agents1215 or antidepressant agents,16 while others are used as photographic dyes or as intermediates in pharmaceuti-cals17-20 and antioxidants.21 The approach reported here deals with the synthesis of some new pyrazoles and pyrazolones starting from 2-pyrazolin-5-one 1 and aminopyrazolone 10 as key starting compounds. The new products might possess novel biological activity and may be used as commercial dyes. 2. Results and Discussion 2-Pyrazolin-5-one 1 has been synthesized by treating a mixture of ethyl benzoylacetate and phenylhydrazi- ne in boiling acetic acid as reported.22 Vilsmeier-Haack formylation of pyrazolone 1 by DMF/POCl3 yielded pyra-zole-4-carbaldehyde 2 as reported in the literature,23,24 which was treated with sodium azide in DMSO to give azidoformylpyrazole 3.25 (Scheme 1) Scheme 1 Treatment of azidoformylpyrazole 3 with 4-chloro-aniline and 4-hydroxyaniline afforded the corresponding Schiff's bases 4a and 4b, respectively. Azidoformyl-pyrazole 3 also reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine 5.26 (Scheme 2) Reduction of azidoformylpyrazole 3 by hydrogen sulphide in methanol gave aminoformylpyrazole 6 (Scheme 2),27 which was fused with ethyl acetoacetate Scheme 2 at 150 °C to give pyrazolo[3,4-£]pyridinone 7, which exists in keto-enol forms and was crystallized from ethanol/DMF as yellow crystals, m.p. 108-110 °C. (Scheme 3) Diazotization of aminopyrazole 6 which was coupled in pyridine with 3-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, 1,3-di-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one and 2-naphthol gave the corresponding coloured azo-dyes 8a,b and 9, respectively. rated cyclic ketone. Treatment of a solution of aminopyra-zolone 10 with sodium nitrite and conc. HCl at low temperature gives the corresponding diazonium salt which is coupled in water (in the presence of AlCl3 as catalyst)28'29 with 3-phenyl-1#-pyrazol-2-en-5-one, 3-(3-pyridyl)-1#-pyrazol-2-en-3-one and 1,3-diphenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one to give the corresponding azo-dyes 11a-c in good yields as orange to red crystals. (Scheme 5). Scheme 3 Scheme 4 On the other hand, the aminopyrazolone 10 can also be used as a key starting material in this approach, as it might behave as an aromatic amine and as an a,B-unsatu- It is reported that treatment of aminopyrazolone 10 with ethyl isothiocyanate, phenylisothiocyanate or phenyl isocyanate in boiling benzene gives the corresponding Scheme 5 Scheme 6 well known thiourea or urea derivatives 12a-c, possessing ethyl or phenyl substituent,30-34 respectively. (Scheme 6) Treatment of the thiourea 12b with 1,3-dibromo-propane under phase-transfer catalysis condition using tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as catalyst in benzene/anhydrous K2CO3 as liquid/solid phases gives thiox-otetrahydropyrimidine 13, while under the same PTC-con-dition, ethyl bromoacetate reacts with ureas 14a-c with ring closure to give imidazolidinediones 14a-c. (Scheme 7) On the other hand, base-catalyzed cycloaddition of some active methylene compounds such as ethyl acetoac-etate, diethyl malonate, ethyl cyanoacetate or malononi-trile on pyrazolylphenylthiourea 12b proceeds via Michael addition to cyclic a,P-unsaturated ketone followed with ring closure with subsequent elimination of phenyl isothio-cyanate to give pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyrazoles 15a-d.

Conclusion Compounds 3 and 10 are used as key starting materials for the synthesis of a set of annulated heterocyclic products containing pyrazole moiety. The new synthesized azo-dyes have been prepared in aqueous medium as environmental friendly solvent. It is expected that these new products might have biological and pharmacological activities. 4.

Povzetek 1,3-Difenil-2-pirazolin-5-on 1 smo pretvorili v 5-azido-4-formilpirazolon 3, ki smo ga uporabili kot ključno izhodno spojino za pripravo nekaterih novih pirazolskih derivatov 4-9. 4-Amino-2-fenil-1,5-dimetil-1^-pirazol-3(2fl)-on 10 smo pripojili z nekaterimi diazonijevimi solmi in dobili obarvane produkte 11; reagirali z izocianati in izotiocianati do derivatov pirazolilsečnin in tiosečnine, ki smo jih nato reagirali z organohalogeni pod PTC pogoji do spojin 13,14; z nekaterimi spojinami, ki vsebujejo aktivne metilenske skupine, smo z Michaelovo 1,4-adicijo pripravili produkte 15.
