The reaction of 2-(5-amino-4-carbamoyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetic acid and triethylorthoformate did not give the expected dihydropyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4-one product as described in literature, but formed an alternative cyclic imide product, fully characterised by NMR and X-ray crystallography. This mode of reaction was shown to be general to other 1-substituted-2-(5-amino-4-carbamoyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetic acids. The outcome of the cyclisation was highly sensitive both to the nature of the reagents used and also to the acidity of the reaction medium, such that a number of interesting bicyclic heterocycles could be produced in a controlled fashion from the single starting material. The major tautomeric forms of the bicyclic products in solution were found to vary according to their substitution pattern.
