Pyrazole - Synthesis of Pyrazole - Characteristic Reactions of Pyrazole - Medicinal uses of Pyrazole
The document discusses various methods for the synthesis of pyrazole, including reactions with carboxylic acids, hydrazine, and unsaturated carbonyl compounds. It also details the characteristic reactions of pyrazole and its derivatives, such as acylation, nitration, and medicinal uses like antipyrine and celecoxib. Additionally, the document highlights the importance of pyrazole in pharmacology for treating conditions like pain and infections.
Synthesis of Pyrazole
1.Decarboxylation of various pyrazolecarboxylic acids, on heating, gives pyrazole.
2. Condensation of hydrazine with β-diketones.

5. Condensation ofhydrazine with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
Condensation of hydrazine with acrolein gives Pyrazoline which can be oxidised to
pyrazole.
In α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, if either of the doubly bonded carbon atom is
attached to a halogen atom, pyrazole is directly obtained.

1. Reaction withinorganic acids: Pyrazole is weakly basic compound and forms salts
with inorganic acids.
2. Acylation: The imino hydrogen atom of the pyrazole replaced by an acyl group.
3. Benzoylation: The imino hydrogen atom of the pyrazole replaced by benzoyl group

4. Oxidation: C-alkylatedpyrazole readily oxidised to the corresponding carboxylic acid.
When pyrazole polycarboxylic acids are heated, corresponding monocarboxylic acids are
obtained in which carboxyl group in the α-position to nitrogen is the first to be removed. Repeating
decarboxylation at higher temperature, the monocarboxylic acids are converted into parent
compounds.

phenyl derivative may be reduced by sodium-ethanol to the corresponding
pyrazoline.
