A number of 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5-amines were prepared by combining an &#945;-cyanoketone or 3-aminocrotonitile with an aryl hydrazine in 1 M HCl and heating the solution to 150 &#176;C in a microwave reactor. Nearly all compounds were synthesized in 10-15 min, with the slowest substrate requiring 35 min of heating14. The use of water as the solvent allows for rapid heating of the solution and minimizes the use of hazardous organic solvents.

The impetus to create a streamlined synthesis of 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5-amines is due to the myriad of applications of these small molecules. They appear in kinase inhibitors1, antibiotics2, pesticides3, and among many other biologically active compounds4,5. Synthetic schemes for these compounds are abundant, but most involve complex isolation and purification techniques. A common method involves the reflux of aryl hydrazine and 3-aminocrotononitrile in either alcoholic or aqueous solutions followed by a subsequent purification via chromatography and/or recrystallization6,7,8,9,10. A handful of isolated reports have detailed the synthesis of these compounds using microwave radiation, but all required extensive heating time and offered little advantage when compared to other previously reported methods11,12.
Despite their utility, there are a limited number of 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5-amines available from commercial vendors. We recently had success preparing nitrogen heterocycles using a microwave reactor13 and decided to investigate a related methodology for pyrazole-5-amine analogs. In this paper, we detail our procedure to prepare 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5-amines by reacting an aryl hydrazine with either 3-aminocrotononitrile or an &#945;-cyanoketone in 1 M HCl under microwave radiation. The advantages of this procedure include a short reaction time and the ability to incorporate a variety of functional groups including halides, nitriles, phenols, sulfones and nitro groups14.

microwave-assisted preparation of 1-aryl-1h-pyrazole-5-amines

A synthetic process for the preparation of a variety of 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5-amines was developed. The microwave-mediated nature of this method makes it efficient in both time and resources and utilizes water as the solvent. 3-Aminocrotononitrile or an appropriate &#945;-cyanoketone is combined with an aryl hydrazine and dissolved in 1 M HCl. The mixture is then heated in a microwave reactor at 150 &#176;C, typically for 10-15 min. The product can be readily obtained by basifying the solution with 10% NaOH and isolating the desired compound with a simple vacuum filtration. The use of water as a solvent in this reaction lends to its ease and utility in production, and this method is easily reproducible with a variety of functional groups. Typical isolated yields range from 70-90%, and reactions can be performed on the milligram to gram scale with little to no change in observed yields. Some of the applications of these molecules and their derivatives include pesticides, anti-malarials, and chemotherapeutics, among many others.

In this demonstration, 3-aminocrotononitrile and 4-fluorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride were reacted to produce 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (Figure 1). The mixture of the starting material in the microwave vial seen in Figure 2a shows the heterogeneous suspension created by combining the starting materials in the 1 M HCl solvent. It is recommended to pre-mix the solution for a few seconds over a stir plate to ensure th...
