ABSTRACT: This study was an investigation of previous reported methods for the oxidative
aromatization of 1,3,5-trisubstututed pyrazolines to synthesize the corresponding pyrazole of the
previously synthesized pyrazoline inhibitor 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline 1. Microwave conditions were also utilized to improve
on some of the oxidative methods. Overall the successful synthesis of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-
phenyl-1-(4-chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazole 2 was probably achieved only with the
oxidative reagents, DDQ indicated by formation of new singlet peaks at 6.8, 6.25 ppm in 1H
NMR analysis.
INTRODUCTION
Pyrazoles are important nitrogen heterocycles
that have relevance in pharmaceuticals.
These compounds show a broad spectrum of
pharmacological activities such as
antibacterial, antihyperglycemic, anti-
inflammatory, analgesic and hypoglycemic
and sedative-hypnotic activities.1 We are
interested in synthesizing pyrazoles due to
their probable use as antiamoebic agents.
Several 1,3,5-trisubstitued pyrazolines have
been synthesized by Dr. Rossi’s Research
Lab to be investigated as antiamoebic agents,
and it has been reported that pyrazolines can
be oxidized to pyrazoles utilizing several
different reaction conditions. These reaction
conditions were used to attempt the oxidation
of the pyrazolines from Dr. Rossi’s research
to the corresponding pyrazole.
Ananthnag, et al. utilized ferric
chloride as a catalyst for the oxidation of
pyrazolines. A 10 mL screw-cap tube was
charged with pyrazoline (1 equiv.), acetic
acid (2 mL), and FeCl3 and the mixture was
stirred for 6-10 h at 120˚C. Ananthnag, et al.
reported high yields from 89-97% for the
oxidation of the pyrazoline derivatives used
in the study. The pyrazoline compounds used
in this research were 1,3,5-trisubstituted
pyrazolines mostly with substituted phenyl
substitutions. The substituents on the phenyl
groups were varying electron donating and
withdrawing groups. Electron withdrawing
groups, nitro- and halo- substituents gave
good to excellent yields but took longer time
to completely react, 8-10 h.2
The major difference between the
pyrazolines used in the Ananthnag, et al.
study and the pyrazoline used in this study is
the substituent located on the nitrogen of the
heterocycles in the 1 position. Rather than an
aromatic substituent directly bound to the
nitrogen of the pyrazoline the pyrazoline
derivative in this study has a carbamoyl
substituent with a phenyl group on the
nitrogen of the carbamoyl. This electron
withdrawing group directly bound to the
heterocycle of the pyrazoline may affect the
reactivity of the pyrazoline in the oxidation
reaction and result in varying results
compared to those reported by Ananthang, et
al.
The faculty of science of the
Chemistry department at Kobe University
successfully converted 1,3,5-trisubstituted
pyrazolines to the corresponding pyrazoles
using a catalytic amount of Pd/C in acetic
acid. After screening a variety of reaction
conditions it was determined that acetic acid
was an essential solvent for the effective
oxidative conversion of pyrazolines to
pyrazoles. 1,3,5-triphenylpyrazoline with 20
wt % 10% Pd/C in acetic acid at 80◦C for
6.5h produced the 1,3,5-triphenylpyrazole in
86% yield.3
The pyrazolines used in the Kobe
University study had phenyl substituents
located on the nitrogen of the heterocycles,
and phenyl or substituted hexyl substituents
on the 3,5 positions of the heterocycles. The
pyrazoline derivative in this study has a
substituted carbamoyl substituent on the
nitrogen of the heterocycle, a chlorinated
phenyl substituent in the 3 position and
phenyl in the 5 position of the heterocycle.
The fact that the electron withdrawing
carbamoyl is directly bonded to the
heterocycles rather than on a phenyl group on
the heterocycle can change the reactivity of
the pyrazoline.
Azarifar, et al. also researched a
microwave assisted method of aromatization
oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines,
with Bi(NO3)3 • 5H2O as an oxidizing agent
in acetic acid. It was found that under
microwave irradiation Bi(NO3)3 was an
effective oxidant resulting in high yields of
the pyrazole product, 92-99%, with a short
reaction time (35-60 s). The pyrazoline
derivatives in these reactions had a phenyl
substituent located on the nitrogen of the
heterocycles and varying electron
withdrawing and electron donating groups on
the 3,5 sites of the heterocycles.4
The
pyrazoline in this study has an electron
withdrawing carbamoyl directly bound to the
nitrogen of the heterocycle unlike the
pyrazoline derivatives used by Azarifar, et al.
which had a phenyl substituent.
Kumar et al. conducted a study on the
electrochemistry and optical properties of
1,3,5 trisubstituted pyrazolines and pyrazoles.
In this study Kumar et al. synthesized first
pyrazolines and then using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-
dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as an
oxidant in dry dichloromethane reacted the
pyrazoline to the corresponding pyrazole.
After 8-9 h of reaction at room temperature
the study reported yields of 49-69%.5
The pyrazolines oxidized by Kumar et
al. were 3-ferrocenyl pyrazolines with a
sulfonamide substituent bonded to the
nitrogen of the heterocycles. The pyrazoline
derivatives studied by Kumar et. al had more
complex substituents compared to 3-(4-
chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline used
in this study which has a carbamoyl
substituent in the place of a sulfonamide and
chlorinated phenyl substituent on site 3 of the
heterocycle rather than a ferrocene
substituent.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
General Information. All solvents (except
for chromatography mixed solvents) and
reagents were of reagent-grade quality.
Oxidation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-
1-(4-chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-
pyrazoline (1) by FeCl3. In a 5 mL glass
conical vial equipped with a magnetic stirring
bar were added 143.2 mg (0.35 mmol)
pyrazoline 1, 5.5 mg (0.034 mmol) FeCl3, 1
mL of acetic acid. Vial was equipped with a
reflux condenser left open to air and the
reaction mixture was heated at 120˚C with
stirring. The reaction was monitored by Thin
Layer Chromatography (TLC) (1:1 hexane:
ethyl acetate). The reaction was removed
from heat after 11 hours of reaction and left
to cool. Reaction mixture was neutralized
with a saturated solution of sodium carbonate
and product was extracted 3X with 10 mL
portions of ethyl acetate. Washed organic
layer 3X with brine and then dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate. Product was
isolated and sodium sulfate removed by
vacuum filtration and ethyl acetate layer with
product was left to evaporate in hood over
the week. Residual ethyl acetate was
removed with the rotary evaporator to afford
a pale yellow crystalline solid.
Oxidation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-
1-(4-chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-
pyrazoline (1) by FeCl3 under Argon
In a 5 mL glass conical vial equipped with a
magnetic stirring bar were added 143.4 mg
(0.35 mmol) pyrazoline 1, 14 mg (0.086
mmol) FeCl3, and reagents were thoroughly
mixed and 1 mL of acetic acid was added.
Vial was equipped with a reflux condenser
and placed under an argon balloon and the
reaction mixture was heated at 120˚C with
stirring. The reaction was monitored by TLC
(1:1 hexane: ethyl acetate). The reaction was
removed from heat after 11 hours of reaction
and left to cool. Reaction mixture was
neutralized with a saturated solution of
sodium carbonate and product was extracted
3X with 10 mL portions of ethyl acetate.
Washed organic layer 3X with brine and then
dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Product
was isolated and sodium sulfate removed by
vacuum filtration and ethyl acetate layer with
product was left to evaporate in hood over
the week. Residual ethyl acetate was
removed with the rotary evaporator to afford
a pale yellow crystalline solid.
Oxidation aromatization of 3-(4-
chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline
(1) by 10%Pd/C. A 25 ml round bottom
flask was charged with 127.6 mg (0.311
mmol) pyrazoline 1, 10 mL glacial acetic
acid, and 25.3 mg (0.238 mmol) of 10%
Pd/C. The flask was equipped with a reflux
condenser and the reaction mixture heated to
80˚C. The reaction ran for 6.5 hr and
monitored by TLC (1:1 hexane: ethyl
acetate). 10% Pd/C was removed by filtration
through Celite and filtrate was neutralized
with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution.
The neutralized filtrate was extracted 3X
with 40 mL ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate
fractions were combined and dried over
anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Magnesium
sulfate was removed by vacuum filtration.
The dried organic phase containing the
desired product was rotary evaporated to
afford a pale orange, yellow oil residue.
Oxidation aromatization of 3-(4-
chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline
(1) by DDQ Prepared a solution of 68.4 mg
(0.30 mmol) DDQ in 10 mL of
dichloromethane in a 25 mL Erlenmeyer
flask. In a separate flask equipped with
magnetic stir bar, dissolved 102.7 mg (0.25
mmol) pyrazoline 1, in 20 mL of dry
dichloromethane and stirred at room
temperature. To the stirring pyrazoline
solution the DDQ solution was added
dropwise and the stirring reaction solution
was sealed and flushed with argon gas, and
kept under argon gas. The reaction was left to
stir at room temperature under argon for a
week. The reaction was monitored by TLC
(1:1 hexane: ethyl acetate). The reaction
mixture was filtered through a pad of neutral
alumina using 2% methanol in chloroform as
an eluent. The filtrate containing the pyrazole
product was recrystallized with hot
dichloromethane to yield the analytically
pure product, a dark orange brown solid. The
final product was analyzed by 1H NMR.
Oxidation aromatization of 3-(4-
chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline
(1) by Bi(NO3)3 • 5H2O To a microwave vial
added 291.6 mg (0.60 mmol) Bi(NO3)3•
5H2O, 410.3 mg (1 mmol) pyrazoline 1, and
5 mL glacial acetic acid and small magnetic
stirring bar. The reaction mixture was
thoroughly mixed and then irradiated by
microwave at 150˚C for 5 minutes. TLC of
reaction mixture in 9:1 hexane: ethyl acetate
was obtained. The reaction was quenched
with a 5% solution of sodium bicarbonate
and extracted 2X with 10 mL of
dichloromethane. Dichloromethane fractions
were combined and dried over anhydrous
magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate was
removed by vacuum filtration.
Dichloromethane was evaporated off
resulting in a yellow flaky solid.
1H NMR analysis indicated lack of
oxidation of pyrazoline to pyrazole so
reaction was conducted again but irradiated
for 10 minutes. Charged a microwave vial
with 291.3 mg (0.60 mmol) Bi(NO3)3•5H2O,
410.1 mg ( 1 mmol) pyrazoline 1, and 5 mL
glacial acetic acid and a small magnetic stir
bar. The reagents were thoroughly mixed and
irradiated by microwave at 150˚C for 10
minutes. TLC of reaction mixture in 9:1
hexane: ethyl acetate was obtained. The
reaction was quenched with a 5% solution of
sodium bicarbonate and extracted 2X with 10
mL of dichloromethane. Dichloromethane
fractions were combined and dried over
anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Magnesium
sulfate was removed vacuum filtration.
Dichloromethane was evaporated by rotary
evaporator, and a yellow flaky solid
remained.
Chromatography of Bi(NO3)3•5H2O
reaction product. Isolated product from 10
min. microwave oxidation reaction with
Bi(NO3)3•5H2O was absorbed into 1.7 g of
silica gel, with use of minimal
dichloromethane to transfer contents of vial
into 100 mL round bottom flask; solvent was
evaporated by rotary evaporator to absorb
product into silica. Flash chromatography
column prepared by blocking end with cotton
and 1 cm layer of sand and filling with slurry
of 65 g of silica gel in toluene. Silica gel was
packed by collecting excess toluene until
meniscus was at top of silica. Evaporated
reaction mixture absorbed into silica was
added on top of packed silica column
followed by additional 1 cm layer of sand.
Crude product was separated from reaction
mixture by eluting the column with toluene.
Elution was accelerated by gently applied air
pressure to top of column, and 5 mL fractions
were collected in separate 12 mL test tubes.
37 fractions were collected and analyzed by
TLC on precoated glass-backed TLC plates
evolved in 1:1 hexane: ethyl acetate and
visualized under a UV lamp (254 nm).
Product Isolation of Bi(NO3)3•5H2O
reaction. Fractions with TLC Rf values close
to 0.85 (fractions 11-14) and fractions with
TLC Rf values close to 0.75 (fractions 26-36)
were combined and fractions with multiple
spots (fractions 15-25) were combined and
solvent was rotary evaporated off. The final
product from fractions 11-14 was an orange
oil residue, the product from fraction 15-25
was a mixture of yellow and white flaky
solid, and fraction 26-36 yielded a yellow
crystalline solid. Each sample was analyzed
by 1H NMR.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra. 1H
NMR spectra recorded on a 300 MHz
spectrometer. 1H NMR spectra were
referenced to CDCl3 (δ 7.26 ppm). Peak
multiplicities are designated by the following
abbreviations: s, singlet; bs, broad singlet; d,
doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; ds,
doublet of singlets; dd, doublet of doublets;
td, triplet of doublets. All signal shifts, δ,
reported in ppm.

located at δ 5.57, 3.81, 3.22 ppm are
diagnostic peaks of the pyrazoline derivative
that are lost when the pyrazoline is oxidized
due to increased conjugation of the nitrogen
heterocycle of the pyrazoline. The pyrazole
will have a diagnostic singlet (s, 1H) further
downfield at around 6.5 ppm.

Discussion & Conclusions
The overall goal of the project was
the successful oxidative aromatization of 3-
(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1-(4-
chlorophenylcarboxamide)-2-pyrazoline to
the corresponding pyrazole. To determine if
the oxidation reaction conversion was
successful 1H NMR of each reaction product
was analyzed looking for an indicative loss of
three dd peaks located at δ 5.57, 3.81, 3.22
and the appearance of a new singlet peak
around 6.5 ppm. The 1H NMR of the
oxidation reaction with FeCl3 product
showed a new singlet at δ 2.41 which is too
up field to be indicative of the formation of
the pyrazole, and the three dd peaks of the
pyrazoline were still visible indicating a lack
of conversion to the pyrazole. The 1H NMR
of the reaction with 10% Pd/C showed no
new singlets, and the three dd were still
visible indicating the reaction was
unsuccessful.
The oxidation reaction with Bi(NO3)3
yielded a new product indicated by TLC
analysis, with several new spots being visible
with Rf values of 0.55, 0.44, 0.28, 0.09. A
separation of the product by flash
chromatography resulted in two compounds
with Rf 0.87 and 0.69. 1H NMR analysis of
the fractions with Rf 0.69 showed three dd
peaks indicating the identity of the compound
was the original pyrazoline. 1H NMR
analysis of the fractions with Rf 0.87 lacked
the three dd peaks of the pyrazoline and had
two singlet peaks at δ 2.35, 2.28 with
integration that indicates two hydrogens in
that environment, whereas for the pyrazole
we expect one hydrogen in that singlet
environment; therefor this isolated compound
was not the desired pyrazole. Improvements
that could be made to the reaction with
Bi(NO3)3 oxidant is increase the reaction
time, which seemed to have resulted in better
yield when the reaction time was increased
from 5 min. to 10 min. Increasing the amount
of available Bi(NO3)3 oxidant could also
increase the reactivity and pyrazole
formation. It also may be beneficial to also
perform and flash chromatography column of
the product from the FeCl3 reaction and
separate the compounds formed for
individual analysis.
The oxidation reaction with DDQ
resulted in a product with two singlets at 6.8
ppm and 6.25 ppm, with integration of 1H.
Either of the singlets seen in the 1H NMR of
the DDQ reaction product could be the
diagnostic peak of the pyrazole. A flash
chromatography column could be run as to
separate the pyrazole product from the
unreacted pyrazoline, and then further 1H
NMR analysis of the fractions would better
identify the compound as the pyrazole, or as
some other byproduct. This reaction was
probably more successful due to the fact that
DDQ was a potent oxidizer and also the
pyrazoline used in the study by Kumar et al.
was more similar to the pyrazoline we
studied compared to the pyrazolines utilized
in the other studies referenced. Their
pyrazoline had a sulfonamide bonded to the
nitrogen of the pyrazoline and ours had a
carbamoyl bonded to the nitrogen both
electron withdrawing groups and therefore
more similar reactivity.
Further analysis of the products from
the Bi(NO3)3 and FeCl3 such as GCMS or
LCMS can further elucidate the identity of
the compound produced and further 1H NMR
analysis techniques such as COSY. The DDQ
reaction can be conducted again this time
ensuring dry conditions are achieved with dry
DCM which were not achieved in this study.
If the dry conditions are achieved as in the
literature from Kumar et al. hopefully
increased reactivity will be seen and
complete consumption of the pyrazoline
achieved. Overall complete consumption of
the original pyrazoline and formation of the
corresponding pyrazole by oxidation proved
difficult, and none of the reactions showed
complete consumption of the original
pyrazoline. Future studies that can be
conducted may look at other novel oxidants
or further improvement of the reactions
conducted here. An attempt at performing the
FeCl3 reaction under microwave conditions
can be made which may promote the reaction
and result in increased product yield and
pyrazoline consumption. Other oxidants that
have shown success in converting
pyrazolines to the corresponding pyrazole are
bis-bromine-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane
complex (DABCO-Br2)6, KMnO4
7, MnO2
8,
and iodobenzene diacetate (IBD)9.
