Two variations of enaminone-based parallel solution-phase synthesis of 1-substituted 4-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-ols 8 and their NH-tautomers 8′ were developed. The synthetic strategy comprises a two step preparation of the N-protected α-enamino lactams 3a and 3b from 2-pyrrolidinone (1), “ring switching” transformation of 3a,b with monosubstituted hydrazines 4a−u, and acidolytic removal of the N-protecting group. In order to ensure a clean and fast conversion, reactions of Cbz-enaminone 3a with hydrazines 4a−k were carried out under microwave irradiation to afford the “ring-switched” intermediates 7a−k. Deprotection of 7a−k with HBr−AcOH at 50 °C gave a library of 11 analytically pure 4-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-ols (di)hydrobromides 8/8’a−k in 16−75% yields over two steps. The other reagent, Boc-enaminone 3b, was more reactive and ring switching transformations with hydrazines 4b,d,k proceeded smoothly and cleanly under conventional heating. Finally, a parallel one-pot transformation of the Boc-enaminone 3b with hydrazines 4a−u followed by subsequent deprotection of the intermediates 9a−u with HCl−EtOAc furnished a library of 21 analytically pure 4-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-ols (di)hydrochlorides 8/8’a−u in 40−100% yields.
