Abstract Generated abstract

This paper reports the application of an acylation method for introducing acyl residues into 4-N-methylaminoantipyrine, a secondary amine of the pyrazolone series. Instead of using acid chlorides, the procedure reacts 4-methylaminoantipyrine with free carboxylic acids in anhydrous benzene in the presence of phosphorus trichloride, followed by alkaline workup and recrystallization. Six previously undescribed N,N-methylacyl derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine were synthesized, including dinitrobenzoyl, methoxybenzoyl, fluorobenzoyl, capronoyl, and stearoyl derivatives, with reported yields, melting points, empirical formulas, and nitrogen analyses.

Synthesis of Some N,N-Methylacyl Derivatives of 4-Aminoantipyrine

(Presented by the scientific-methodological seminar of the CTF)

To obtain acyl derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine, we previously used the reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine with free carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorus trichloride in an inert solvent medium [1–3]. In the present work, the results are set forth of applying this reaction to introduce acyl residues into a secondary amine of the pyrazolone series—4-N-methylaminoantipyrine. According to the literature, for this purpose the usually difficult-to-obtain and expensive acid chlorides of carboxylic acids were used [4–6].

Experimental Part

0.1 g-mol of 4-methylaminoantipyrine and 0.1 g-mol of a carboxylic acid are placed in a reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, reflux condenser, and dropping funnel. Forty ml of anhydrous benzene are added. The mixture is heated with stirring to 60–70° and, dropwise over 10 minutes, 2.5 ml of phosphorus trichloride dissolved in 10 ml of benzene is added. The mixture is boiled for 3 hours. The benzene is distilled off; the reaction mass is treated with a 10% solution of sodium carbonate, filtered, washed with water and ether, and recrystallized from alcohol. The yield of the acyl derivative is determined. The yields and characteristics of the obtained N,N-methylacyl derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine are given in Table 1.

Conclusions

  1. A method has been applied for introducing an acyl radical into the secondary amine of the pyrazolone series using free carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorus trichloride.

  2. Six \(N,N\)-methylacyl derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine not described in the literature have been synthesized.
