Abstract
Another route to obtain pyrazolidine was developed. It consists of a three step mechanism, which involves, first, the sequential formation of N,N′-dichloro-1,3-diaminopropane starting from 1,3-diaminopropane and sodium hypochlorite, second, a dehydrohalogenation of the dichloro derivative leading to 1-pyrazoline and 2-pyrazoline and finally, the hydrogenation of these two derivatives in order to obtain the compound of interest. In this paper, our study was focused on the kinetics of the formation of 1-pyrazoline and 2-pyrazoline. A kinetic model was proposed and then validated by experimental results. A quantum calculation (Gaussian09/CBS-QB3) was performed in order to determine the stability of the 1 and 2-pyrazolines. It showed that the 2-pyrazoline is more stable than the 1-pyrazoline. This process has been validated on the ISOCHEM production site.
