Title: Process for preparing a substituted pyrazolyl benzenesulfonamide for the treatment of inflammation
Abstract:A class of pyrazolyl benzenesulfonamide compounds is descrbed for use in treating inflammation and inflammation-related disorders. Compounds of particular interest are defined by Formula II: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.2 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, cyanoalkyl, carboxyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, cycloalkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl, carboxyalkylaminocarbonyl, carboxyalkyl, aralkoxycarbonylalkylaminocarbonyl, aminocarbonylalkyl, alkoxycarbonylcyanoalkenyl and hydroxyalkyl; wherein R.sup.3 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, cyano, hydroxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylsulforyl and halo; and wherein R.sup.4 is selected from aralkenyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and heterocyclic; wherein R.sup.4 is optionally substituted at a substitutable position with one or more radicals selected from halo, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, cyano, nitro, haloalkyl, alkyl, hydroxyl, alkenyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxy, cycloalkyl, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, sulfamyl, heterocyclic and amino; provided R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are not both hydrido; further provided that R.sup.2 is not carboxyl or methyl when R.sup.3 is hydrido and when R.sup.4 is phenyl; further provided that R.sup.4 is not triazolyl when R.sup.2 is methyl; further provided that R.sup.4 is not aralkenyl when R.sup.2 is carboxyl, aminocarbonyl or ethoxycarbonyl; further provided that R.sup.4 is not phenyl when R.sup.2 is methyl and R.sup.3 is carboxyl; and further provided that R.sup.4 is not unsubstituted thienyl when R.sup.2 is trifluoromethyl; or a pharmceutically-acceptable salt thereof.

Assignee: G. D. Searle & Co. (Chicago, IL)
Filing Date:Mar 04, 2003
Application Number:10/378,781
Claims:1. A method for the preparation of 4-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-difluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide wherein the method comprises: mixing ethyl difluoroacetate with sodium methoxide and methanol, contacting the ethyl difluoroacetate, sodium methoxide, and methanol mixture with 4'-chloroacetophenone in the presence of diethyl ether to form 4,4-difluoro-1-[4-(chloro)phenyl]-butane-1,3-dione; and contacting the 4,4-difluoro-1-[4-(chloro)phenyl]-butane-1,3-dione with 4-sulphonamidophenyl hydrazine hydrochloride in the presence of absolute ethyl alcohol under reflux to produce 4-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(difluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamid e.
