Abstract

It was found that 3-amino-substituted 5-aminopyrazoles could be effectively prepared via hydrolytic decarboxylation of the corresponding 3,5-diaminopyrazole-4-carboxylates under microwave irradiation. The reactions required short time (4 min) and were successfully reproduced in a larger scale and under conventional heating mimicking the microwave heating pattern. X-ray crystallography identified two different types of tautomers in crystals of related 5-aminopyrazoles with p-toluidyl and p-anisidyl moieties at the position 3, respectively.
