Abstract

:
A simple method for the synthesis of pyrazoline derivative containing furan moiety was developed. Thus, 5-(6-bromo-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(2-furyl)-1-(3-methyl-phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole was synthesized using microwave irradiation and it was characterized by NMR, IR, and LCMS.

Aryl furylpyrazolines exhibit antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities [1]. Pyrazolines can be synthesized by the reaction between chalcones (1) and arylhydrazines (2) using catalytic amounts of acetic acid in ethanol as solvent under reflux conditions [2] and acetic acid as a solvent [3]. In some cases bases like K2CO3 [4] and Ba(OH)2 [5] were employed. We are hereby reporting a simple method for synthesizing an aryl furylpyrazoline by a non-conventional method, using microwave conditions, which does not need any catalyst. The work-up procedure is simple and convenient.

A solution of (1) (0.321 g, 1 mmol) which was prepared by the reaction between 6-Bromopiperonal and 2-Acetylfuran and (2) (0.158g,1mmol) in absolute ethanol (5 ml) was placed in a microwave Pyrex vial and irradiated with 200W for 10 min at 150 °C (final temperature). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The solid obtained was washed with a little amount of hexane, filtered and dried under vacuum to give a brown-coloured solid (3).
