The Regioselective Synthesis of Tepoxalin, 3-[5-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-pyrazolyl]-N-hydroxy-N-methylpropanamide and Related 1,5-Diarylpyrazole Anti-inflammatory Agents

All articles of this category Tepoxalin, a potent anti-inflammatory agent, and its analogs can be synthesized by condensing an appropriate arylhydrazine hydrochloride and a 6-aryl-4,6-dioxohexanoic acid in alcohol with a base catalyst. These diarylpyrazolylpropanoic acids can be converted to their N -methylhydroxamic acids by generating the requisite acid chloride, and allowing it to react with N -methylhydroxylamine.
