Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds are important molecules that serve as scaffolds or linkers for the core structure of numerous drug substances. In particular, pyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole are compounds of great interest due to their comprehensive biological activities and interesting structural features. Here, we described an efficient and economical synthetic route leading to N-phenyl substituted pyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. Retrosynthetic disconnective analysis showed that the N-phenyl substituted pyrazole can be obtained from chalcone, accessible from the respective aldehyde, and acetophenone. The disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole can be constructed from the respective aldehyde, which originates from pyrrole-containing compound, and formyl chloride. Based on our retrosynthetic analysis, N-phenyl substituted pyrazole was obtained by cyclization of the respective chalcone with phenylhydrazine to give pyrazoline which was in turn converted into pyrazole by oxidative aromatization. Potassium carbonate and a catalytic amount of molecular iodine were used to oxidatively cyclize semicarbazones into 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in a transition metal-free process. Novel pyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles with potential biological activity are investigated as antituberculosis, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, anticancer, and tyrosinase inhibitory agents.
