Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic chemical synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing methyl 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate. Background Technology
[0002] 4-Substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester, as an important organic synthesis building block, plays a vital role in many fields, including medicine, pesticides, and materials. Its unique chemical structure and properties provide broad prospects for the development of related technologies.
[0003] The pyrazole ring structure endows it with a certain degree of stability and a unique electron cloud distribution, while the introduction of the carboxyl functional group greatly enriches its chemical reactivity, enabling it to participate as an important intermediate in the construction of complex organic molecules and creating conditions for the synthesis of derivatives with specific functions.
[0004] Currently, the main methods for synthesizing methyl 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate are:
[0005] The first method, using 4-substituted-3-methylpyrazole as the starting material, is a more classic synthetic route, and the reaction formula is as follows:
[0006]
[0007] The specific process is as follows: First, using 4-substituted-3-methylpyrazole as the starting material, a strong oxidant such as potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate is used to oxidize the 3-methyl group to a carboxyl group under acidic conditions. This reaction is usually carried out under heating conditions. By controlling the reaction temperature and time, the reaction is ensured to occur fully. Subsequently, after a series of separation and purification steps, such as extraction and crystallization, 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid is obtained. This method uses relatively readily available raw materials, but the reaction conditions are quite harsh, the separation and purification of intermediate products is cumbersome, and the oxidation step may produce many byproducts, affecting the yield and purity. More importantly, the oxidant has relatively poor safety, chromium reagent is highly toxic, and the solid waste after the reaction is difficult to treat.
[0008] The second method uses 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid esters as starting materials, and the reaction formula is as follows:
[0009]
[0010] The specific process is as follows: using 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid esters as raw materials, 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl esters are synthesized by functionalizing the carboxyl group at the ortho position. Although the reaction conditions are not as harsh as those of oxidation reactions, the types of functionalization reactions are relatively limited. Generally, only simple halogenation or nitration can be carried out, and there are regioselectivity issues. The yield and derivatization are not high, making it unsuitable for the development of a series of products.
[0011] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a high-yield methyl 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Beneficial effects
[0040] The synthetic method of this invention changes the previous strategy of methyl oxidation to carboxylic acid or functionalization at the ortho position of carboxylic acid. This invention utilizes the thermodynamic stability of the molecule, first introducing a carboxyl group into the 5-position of the pyrazole ring, followed by deprotection and intramolecular rearrangement tautomerism to obtain 4-functionalized 3-pyrazolecarboxylic acid, which spontaneously generates the corresponding methyl carboxylic acid under acidic compound and methanol conditions. Using various commercially available 4-substituted pyrazoles as starting materials, the synthesis of 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester is achieved through amino functional group protection, organic base hydrogen abstraction, carbon dioxide carboxylation, deprotection-isomerization-esterification. The synthetic method of this invention avoids the conventional strategies of methyl oxidation to carboxylic acid (often using potassium permanganate, which is a vigorous reaction, generates a lot of solid and liquid waste, has low yield, and many side reactions) or ortho-functionalization of carboxylic acid (often position-selective, with low yield and limited types of functionalization). The synthetic method of this invention is simple to operate, has a high yield, and has the potential for industrial scale-up.
[0041] It is worth noting that, in the presence of a protecting group, the pyrazole ring configuration is fixed, and the carboxyl group is introduced to the more reactive pyrazole 5-position. However, as the protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, the pyrazole ring undergoes tautomerism, and the position of the carboxyl group changes to the pyrazole ring 3-position. The ingenious implementation of this strategy provides new ideas and methods for constructing this type of special heterocyclic molecule. Detailed Implementation

[0128] This invention uses various commercially available 4-substituted pyrazoles as starting materials, and synthesizes 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl esters through amino functional group protection, organic base hydrogen abstraction, carbon dioxide carboxylation, deprotection-isomerization-esterification. This invention successfully constructs a series of 3-carboxylic acid methyl ester pyrazole compounds (instead of 5-carboxylic acid methyl esters), pioneering a new method and strategy for the synthesis of such compounds. The synthetic method of this invention avoids the previous strategies of methyl oxidation to carboxylic acid (often using potassium permanganate, which is a vigorous reaction, produces a lot of solid and liquid waste, has low yields, and many side reactions) or ortho-functionalization of carboxylic acid (often position-selective, with low yields and limited types of functionalization). It is worth noting that, in the presence of a protecting group, the pyrazole ring configuration is fixed, and the carboxyl group is introduced to the more reactive pyrazole 5-position. However, as the protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, the pyrazole ring undergoes tautomerism, and the position of the carboxyl group changes to the pyrazole ring 3-position. The ingenious implementation of this strategy provides new ideas and methods for constructing this type of special heterocyclic molecule.
[0129] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
