Abstract:
This review deals with the synthetic potentiality and utility of antipyrine and its derivatives in the synthesis of 4-substituted antipyrine and other heterocycles containing antipyrine moiety such as thiazole, pyrazolopyridines, pyrazolopyrimidines, and pyrazolotriazines. The reactions that cover the methods of synthesizing the aforementioned heterocycles such as addition, condensation, and cyclization were also reviewed.
