Cycloadducts of phenylethynyl trifluoromethyl sulfone with diphenyldiazomethane and 9-diazofluorene and their transformations under conditions of van Alphen–Hüttel rearrangement

Аннотация

Diphenyldiazomethane and 9-diazofluorene react with phenylethynyl trifluoromethyl sulfone in diethyl ether at 20°C to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products according to the von Auwers rule, the corresponding 3H-pyrazoles. The adduct with diphenyldiazomethane undergoes thermal van Alphen–Hüttel rearrangement to 4,4,5-triphenyl-3-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-4H-pyrazole on heating in boiling benzene. Under analogous conditions, the adduct with 9-diazofluorene is converted into 3′-phenylspiro[fluorene-9,4′-pyrazol]-5′(1′H)-one, whereas 3a-phenyl-2,3a-dihydro-3H-dibenzo[e,g]indazol-3-one is formed in boiling methanol. The structure of 3′-phenylspiro[fluorene-9,4′-pyrazol]-5′(1′H)-one was determined by X-ray analysis.
