The methyl 2-(1-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (243 mg, 0.001 mol) in glacial acetic acid (15 ml) was added hydrazine hydrate (0.1 ml, 0.002 mol) and refluxed on oil bath for 1 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After the completion of the reaction it was poured into crushed ice. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried. It was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (85:15) as eluant. The product was characterized as (I). The yield of the isolated product was 181 g (68%).
H atoms bonded to N2,N10 and O3 were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5 times Ueq(C).
The emerging importance towards the various strategies applied to prepare carbazoles and its derivatives were due to their diverse pharmacological properties (Bhattacharayya et al., 1987; Chakraborty et al., 1991; Chakraborty, 1993; Hewlins et al., 1984). Development of new methods for the synthesis of functionalized carbazoles in particular, is attracting organic chemists due to the discovery of many carbazole alkaloids with varied pharmacological properties (Pinder, 1990; Danish, & Rajendra Prasad, 2004; Ebenezer Martin, & Rajendra Prasad, 2006a; Balamurali, & Rajendra Prasad, 2001; Joule, 1984; Kapil, 1971). Identification of promising antineoplastic activity of ellipticine, tetracyclic compounds of the pyridocarbazole type, have stimulated considerable interest in the field of fused systems (Haider, 2002). In addition, pyridocarbazoles were reported to elicit anti-HIV properties (Hirata et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2005).
At this context, we planned to utilize an intermediate, methyl 2-(1-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (1) to construct newer fused carbazole. The reaction of (1) with hydrazine hydrate yielded pyrazolocarbazole, either methyl 2,4,5,10-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-a]carbazole-3-carboxylate (2) or methyl 1,4,5,10-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-a]carbazole-3-carboxylate (3) (Ebenezer Martin & Rajendra Prasad, 2006b). We present here the X-ray crystal and molecular structure of (2).
The molecular structure of (I), with atomic numbering scheme, is shown in Fig. 1. The pyrazolocarbazole unit is not planar. The carboxylate group at position 3 has a 2.22 (6)° tilt with that of the pyrazole ring. The cyclohexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation. Molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds. The N2—H2···O31 forms an infinite chain. The O3—H3···N1 and N10—H10···O2 hydrogen bonds between the heterofused carbazole units and the acetic acid solvent molecules form a 9-membered ring closure networks (Fig. 2).

Experimental. Solvent used: Cooling Device: Oxford Cryosystems Cryostream 700 Crystal mount: glued on a glass fibre Mosaicity (°.): 0.939 (2) Frames collected: 486 Seconds exposure per frame: 127 Degrees rotation per frame: 1.7 Crystal-Detector distance (mm): 30.0 |
Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The emerging importance towards the various strategies applied to prepare carbazoles and its derivatives were due to their diverse pharmacological properties (Bhattacharayya et al., 1987; Chakraborty et al., 1991; Chakraborty, 1993; Hewlins et al., 1984). Development of new methods for the synthesis of functionalized carbazoles in particular, is attracting organic chemists due to the discovery of many carbazole alkaloids with varied pharmacological properties (Pinder, 1990; Danish, & Rajendra Prasad, 2004; Ebenezer Martin, & Rajendra Prasad, 2006a; Balamurali, & Rajendra Prasad, 2001; Joule, 1984; Kapil, 1971). Identification of promising antineoplastic activity of ellipticine, tetracyclic compounds of the pyridocarbazole type, have stimulated considerable interest in the field of fused systems (Haider, 2002). In addition, pyridocarbazoles were reported to elicit anti-HIV properties (Hirata et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2005).
At this context, we planned to utilize an intermediate, methyl 2-(1-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (1) to construct newer fused carbazole. The reaction of (1) with hydrazine hydrate yielded pyrazolocarbazole, either methyl 2,4,5,10-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-a]carbazole-3-carboxylate (2) or methyl 1,4,5,10-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-a]carbazole-3-carboxylate (3) (Ebenezer Martin & Rajendra Prasad, 2006b). We present here the X-ray crystal and molecular structure of (2).
The molecular structure of (I), with atomic numbering scheme, is shown in Fig. 1. The pyrazolocarbazole unit is not planar. The carboxylate group at position 3 has a 2.22 (6)° tilt with that of the pyrazole ring. The cyclohexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation. Molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds. The N2—H2···O31 forms an infinite chain. The O3—H3···N1 and N10—H10···O2 hydrogen bonds between the heterofused carbazole units and the acetic acid solvent molecules form a 9-membered ring closure networks (Fig. 2).
