Lett. 2011, 972 [DOI] Imidazole and pyrazole are both NH-acidic (pKas 14.5 & 14.2 respectively; cf. pyrrole 17.5). The basicity of the pyridine-like N varies significantly: . imidazole is a stronger base than pyridine whereas pyrazole is a weaker base than pyridine: H H H N H N N N N N N N H H N N N N N N H H H H H H H H pyridine (pKa 5.2) imidazole (pKa 7.0) pyrazole (pKa 2.5) Imidazole and pyrazole – Structure and Properties Imidazole: colourless prisms, mp 88 °C; pyrazole: colourless needles, mp 70 °C Bond lengths and 1H NMR chemical shifts as expected for aromatic systems: b ond lengths: 1H NMR: 1.38 Å 1.42 Å cf. ave C-C 1.48 Å 7.1 ppm 6.3 ppm N 1.31 Å N 7.6 ppm 1.36 Å 1.33 Å 1.37 Å ave C=C 1.34 Å N 7.1 ppm 7.7 ppm 7.6 ppm N N N N N 1.36 Å 1.35 Å ave C-N 1.45 Å 1.37 Å H 1.35 Å H H H imidazole pyrazole imidazole pyrazole Resonance energies: both systems have lower resonance energies than pyrrole (i.e. <90 kJmol-1) Electron density: relative to pyrrole, the additional (electronegative) N atom decreases the overall electron density on the remaining carbons. The precise distribution is rather uneven: for imidazole: C4 & C5 are electron rich, C2 is electron deficient for pyrazole: C4 is electron rich, C3 & C5 are electron deficient p-electron densities: 1.105 4 3 1.056 4 N 1.502 0.972 1.090 0.957 1.056 5 2 0.884 5 N 1.278 1.087 N N 1.649 N 1.502 1.647 H H H imidazole pyrazole pyrrole → both pyrazole and imidazole are: . significantly less reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) than pyrrole (but >benzene) . reactive towards nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) at certain Cs (cf. pyrrole which does not react with nucleophilies) Imidazoles and pyrazoles – Syntheses Imidazoles: a-haloketone with amidine: R R OH H R R O pt pt R pt N N pt N R' NH R' NH R' N H R'' R Cl R' N N Cl Cl R' N R'' H2N R'' HN R'' H O HN R'' H 2 H HCl 1,2-dicarbonyl & an aldehyde with NH3: R R O R NH pt R pt N NH3 O pt O N R'' N + + + N H R R' O NH3 R'' R' NH R'' R' N R' N 2x H O H O H 2 2 Pyrazoles: hydrazine with 1,3-dicarbonyl: R R R R H R OH2 O pt O pt O N + H pt NH NH NH2 H N H N O H N 2 N NH2 N R' N 2 OH N R' R' R' R' H O H H2O 2 H 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazoalkane with alkyne: R'' R R'' R'' # R R H R'' R pt N N N N R' N N N N R' R' R' H Imidazoles and pyrazoles – Reactivity Electrophilic substitution: via addition-elimination (SEAr): reactivity: reactive towards many electrophiles (E+); >benzene but <pyrrole, furan & thiophene regioselectivity: substitution at electron rich carbons predominate (cf. electronic distribution): . imidazole: C4 > C5 (for NR systems; if NH then C4 and C5 are identical) . pyrazole: C4 – less reactive than imidazole imidazole E pyrazole E 4 N 4 5 N N N E H H + + e.g. nitration: (E = NO2 ) . imidazole: 1) HNO3 O2N 4 HNO O2N 4 N 3 N 2) NaOH N 5 N N O2N N H H H e.g. chlorination: (E+ = Cl+) . pyrazole: Cl 4 Cl2, AcOH N N N N H H NB. electron donating substituents enhance reactivity towards electrophiles Imidazoles and pyrazoles – Reactivity cont.
