Several 3-(2,5-anhydro-ribosyl)-pyrazoles of potential medicinal interest have been synthesized by reacting alkynes or alkynylmagnesium bromides with the p-nitrophenylhydrazone of 2,5-anhydro-ribonyl bromide. From a mechanistic standpoint, it has been shown that the sugar-nitrilimine used in these studies reacts more readily as an electrophile than as a dipole. Thus, the hydrazonyl bromide gave exclusively the corresponding phenylethynylhydrazone when treated with phenylethynylmagnesium bromide and led to a 1:1 mixture of phenylethynylhydrazone and pyrazole when reacted with phenylacetylene. This proves that nucleophilic additions onto nitrilimines are much faster than Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. |
