Abstract

1-[(N-cinnamoyl) 2, 5-dichloroanilinomalonyl] 3, 5-dimethyl-4-(Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pyrazoles have been synthesized in 38 to 66% yield, by the reaction of 2, 4-diketo-3- (Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pentanes with Ethyl-2-[(N-cinnamoyl) 2, 5-dichloroanilido] acetohydrazide. Pyrazoles are brown and yellow color solids, having high melting points. Identity of products has been established by elemental analysis and spectral data. Newly synthesized compounds [5a-t] have been tested for their antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria S.albus, S.aureus and gram negative bacteria E.Coli and Pseudomonas piosineus .The compound 5a, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5g and 5h shown significant activity and compound 5b, 5f, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5n and 5p have shown moderate activity. The same compounds were tested for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus Niger and Alternaria alternata at concentration of 30 mg/ml using sabouraud dextrose agar media. Compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, 5g, 5j, 5m, and 5p were found to be moderately active against Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger. All the other compounds did not show significant activity against the fungi at the concentration used.

Introduction

Pyrazoles and their derivatives are important on account of use in therapy in different diseases^1-12 Antibacterial^13-20, fungicidal^21-27, antidiuretic^28-30, anticancer^31-37 and anti-HIV^38-42 ­antitumour⁴³, antianalgesic-inflamatory^44-48, anticonvulsant^{49, 50} properties of pyrazoles have been reported in the literature. Synthesis and interesting aspect of biological activity of arylazopyrazoles have been reported^51-52. In view of potential biological activities of pyrazoles and arylazopyrazoles we report here in the synthesis of new 1-[(N-cinnamoyl) 2, 5-dichloro anilinomalonyl] 3, 5-dimethyl- 4 – (Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pyrazoles. The present communication deals with the reaction of acetyl acetone with diazotized aromatic primary amine in presence of sodium acetate which furnished 2,4-diketo-3- (Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pentane (I) which on treatment with ethyl-2-[(N-cinnamoyl)2, 5-dichloroanilido] acetohydrazide (II) in acetic acid medium resulted in the formation of 1-[(N-cinnamoyl) 2, 5-dichloroanilinomalonyl] 3, 5-dimethyl-4-(Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pyrazoles (5a-t) in varying yield 38-66% (Table-1). Antibacterial and antifungal activities of new arylazopyrazoles were determined.

Experimental

All the chemicals were used for synthesis are of analytical reagent grade. Melting points are taken in open capillaries and are uncorrected. Purity of the compounds was checked by TLC. All the compounds gave satisfactory elemental analysis. IR Spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum RX1 FT IR Spectrophotometer using KBr pallatisation technique and NMR Spectra were recorded on Broker DRX-300 NMR Spectrophotometer. The NMR peaks were recorded on δ scale (ppm) against TMS. The solvent employed was DMSO (3.33-3.35 δ).The elemental analysis of all the compounds done on elemental Vireo EL- III Carlo Erba 1108. 2, 4-Diketo-3- (Unsubstituted/substituted phenylazo) pentane were synthesize by reported method⁵³. Ethyl-2-[(N-cinnamoyl) 2, 5-dichloroanilido] acetohydrazide was prepared by an adaptation of the procedure given by Rathore and Ittyerah⁵⁴.

Synthesis of Ethyl-2-[2, 5-dichloroanilido] Ethanoate

A mixture of 2, 5-dichloroaniline (10ml) and diethylmalonate (20ml) was refluxed for forty five minutes in a round bottomed flask fitted with an air condenser of such a length (14″) that ethanol formed escaped and diethylmalonate flowed back into the flask. Contents were cooled, ethanol (30 ml) was added, when malon-2,5dichlorodianilide separated out. It was filtered under suction. The filtrate was poured on to crushed ice (Ca160g) and stirred when ethyl-2-(2, 5-dichloroanilido) ethanoate precipitated as green mass. On recrystallization from aqueous ethanol (50%), ester was obtained as white crystals. Yield;  81%, M.P.88⁰C, M.W.276.  Anal.
