Abstract

:
The title compound, 4-[(anthracen-9-ylmethylene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrazol-3-one (3), was synthesized in high yield by reaction of anthracene-9-carbaldehyde and 4-aminoantipyrine in ethanol. The structure of this new compound was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and GC-MS spectral data.

Graphical Abstract

Nitrogen-atom containing heterocyclic compounds are an important subset of the natural products that exhibit biological activities, including antitumor [1], antiamoebic [2], antimicrobial [3] and anti-inflammatory [4] activities. Pyrazol-3-one presents an interesting group of compounds, many of which possess widespread pharmacological properties such as analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic activities [5]. These derivatives are also well known for their pronounced anti-inflammatory properties [6] and are used as potent antidiabetic agents [7] Pyrazol-3-one containing Schiff bases can show even increased biological activity [8]. Since the pyrazol-3-one Schiff base moiety seems to be a possible pharmacophore in various pharmacologically active agents, we decided to synthesize a new pyrazol-3-one containing a Schiff base unit by reaction of anthracene-9-carbaldehyde with 4-aminoantipyrine.

Experimental

A mixture of anthracene-9-carbaldehyde (0.50 g, 0.0024 mol) and 4-aminoantipyrine (0.49 g, 0.0024 mol) in ethanol (15 mL) was heated for 3 h at 80 °C. The reaction was monitored by TLC (chloroform/methanol, 9:1). The solid that separated from the cooled mixture was collected and recrystallized from a methanol/chloroform mixture (8:2) to give the title compound (3) as a yellow solid.
