Novel synthesis of new pyrazole thioglycosides as pyrazomycin analogues

Abstract

This study reports a novel method for the synthesis of a new class of pyrazole thioglycosides 7a-h as pyrazomycin analogues. These series of compounds were designed through the reaction of sodium 2-cyano-3-oxo-3-(4-substitutedphenylamino)prop-1-ene-1,1-bis(thiolate) salts 2 with phenyl hydrazine in ethanol at room temperature to give the corresponding sodium 5-amino-4-(substitutedphenylcarbamoyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-thiolates 3a-d. The latter compounds were treated with tetra-acetylated glycosyl bromides 4a,b in DMF at ambient temperature to give the corresponding pyrazole thioglycosides 6a-h. Treatment of pyrazole salts 3a–d with hydrochloric acid at room temperature afforded the corresponding 3-mercaptopyrazole derivatives 5. The latter compounds were treated with tetra-acetylated glycosyl bromides 4 in sodium hydride-DMF to tolerate the S-glycosyl 6a-h compounds. Ammonolysis of the latters afforded the corresponding free thioglycosides 7a-h. The structures of the reaction products were elucidated based on spectral data and elemental analysis.
