Preferred salts of the compounds of formula (II) are, for example, those with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, phosphoric and sulphuric acid.
The cyclization of a compound of formula (II) may be, for example, carried out by treatment with an acid condensing agent such as polyphosphoric acid (alone or in the presence of phorphorus oxychloride), sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, methanesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid, at a temperature ranging preferably between about 50"C and about 150 C; the reaction may be carried out in an organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulphoxide, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene glycol monomethylether or dichloroethane, but it is preferably carried out in the absence of a solvent.
Alternatively, the cyclization of a compound of formula (II) may be carried out by heating the compound at a temperature ranging between about 15000 and about 350 C, preferably between 200 C and 300 C, in an inert high boiling organic solvent such as diphenyl ether, or in the absence of a solvent.
The decarboxylation of a compound of formula (III) may be, for example, carried out by heating in a solvent such as quinoline in the presence of copper powder at a temperature varying between 15000 and 200 C, or alternatively by melting in the presence of CuO at a temperature varying between 200 C and 300 C.

Furthermore, for example, a compound of formula (I) wherein R4 is hydrogen may be converted into a compound of formula (I) wherein R4 is chlorine or bromine by reaction with a suitable halogenating agent such as chlorosuccinimide or bromosuccinimide, SO2Cl2 or pyridinium bromide perbromide, operating at a temperature ranging from 0 C to 100"C and using, for example, as solvent CC14 or dichloroethane in the reaction with SO2Cl2, pyridine in the reaction with pyridinium bromide perbromide and benzene in the reaction with a halosuccinimide.
Furthermore, for example, a compound of formula (I) wherein P3 is a C1-C6 alkyl group substituted by a halogen atom may be converted into a compound of formula (I) wherein P3 is a C1-CB alkyl group substituted buy a group
wherein P5 and P6 are as defined above, by reaction with a compound of formula
wherein P5 and Rg are as defined above, in an organic solvent such as methylethylketone, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, at a temperature varying between 20"C and 150"C.
Also the optional salification of a compound of formula (I) as well as the conversion of a salt into a free compound and the separation of a mixture of isomers into the single isomers may be carried out by conventional methods.
For example, the separation of a mixture of optical isomers into the individual isomers may be carried out by salification with an optically active base or acid and subsequent fractional crystallization.
The compounds of formula (II) may be prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of formula (V)
wherein
R, and P2 are as defined above, or a salt thereof, with a compound of formula (Vl)
wherein
R3, R4 and R7 are as defined above and R is a reactive group chosen, preferably, from hydroxy, amino, C1-Cg alkoxy, ortri-(C-C6)alkyl-silyloxy.
Preferred salts of a compound of formula (V) are, for example, those with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric and sulphuric acid.
The reaction between a compound of formula (V) and a compound of formula (VI) may be carried out, for example, by heating in solvents such as dioxane, toluene, xylene, acetonitrile, C1-C4 alkyl alcohols, acetic acid, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, diphenylether or in the absence of a solvent, at a temperature varying from room temperature to about 200"C. Preferably, when R11 is hydroxy, the reaction between a compound of formula (V) and a compound of formula (VI) is carried out in the presence of an acid condensing agent such as polyphosphoric acid, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid or acetic acid using the same experimental conditions, as described above, for the cyclization of the compounds of formula (II).
Under these specific conditionsthe reaction of a compound of formula (V) with a compound of formula (Vl) may be carried out till a compound of formula (I) is obtained without the need to isolate the intermediate product of formula (II) formed during the reaction.
The compounds of formula (III) may be prepared, for example, by hydrolyzing a compound of formula (VII)
wherein P1, R2 and R3 are as defined above and R,2 is cyano or an esterified carboxy group or a tri-(C1-C6)alkyl-silyloxy-carbonyl group, by treatment, for example, with a mineral acid such as HCI, HBr, HI in water or in acetic acid or dioxane or their mixtures at a temperature varying between room temperature and about 1 200C.

The compounds of formula (V), (VI), (VIII) and (IX) are known compounds or may be prepared by conventional methods: in some cases they are commercially availabie products. The compounds of the invention are active on the central nervous system (CNS), in particular as central nervous systems depressants, i.e. as sedative, anticonvulsive agents, minor tranquilizers, and as sleep-inducing agents. The activity on the ONS of the compounds of the invention was evaluated, for example, in the experimental framework of the behavioural assessment by the Irwin's technique [Irwin, S., Psychopharmacologia (Berl.), 13, 222, 1968]. In this test, the compounds of the invention, proved to be active as CNS depressants, in particular as sedative agents and as minor tranquilizers, and in inducing hypnosis e.g. in mice and rats.The animals, treated with oral doses ranging from 5 to 100 mg/kg body weight, showed loss of righting reflex, without contemporary depression of muscle-tone, respiratory frequency, rectal temperature and of otherless indicative reflexes.
The toxicity of the compounds of the invention is negligible, therefore they can be safely used in therapy.
Nine hours food deprived mice and rats were treated orally with single administration of increasing doses, then housed and normally fed. The orientative acute toxicity (LD50) was assessed on the seventh day after the treatment and resulted, in general, higher than 600 mg/kg.
The compounds of the invention can be administered in a variety of dosage forms, e.g. orally, in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar or film coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions; rectally, in the form of suppositories; parenterally, e.g. intramuscularly, or by intravenous injection or infusion.
The dosage depends on the age, weight, conditions of the patient and administration route; for example the dosage adopted for oral administration to adult humans may range from about 10 to about 100 mg pro dose, from 1 to 5 times daily.
The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient (which can be a carrier or diluent).
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds ofthe invention are usually prepared following conventional methods and are administered in a pharmaceutically suitable form.
For example, the solid oral forms may contain, together with the active compound, diluents, e.g., lactose, dextrose, saccharose, cellulose, corn starch or potato starch; lubricants, e.g. silica, talc, stearic acid, magneisum or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycols; binding agents, e.g. starches, arabic gums, gelatin, methylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone; disaggregating agents, e.g. a starch, alginic acid, alginates or sodium starch glycolate; effervescing mixtures; dyestuffs; sweeteners; wetting agents, such as lecithin, polysorbates, laurylsulphates; and, in general, non-toxic and pharmacologically inactive substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. Said pharmaceutical preparations may be manufactured in known manner, for example, by means of mixing, granulating, tabletting, sugar-coating, or film-coating processes.The liquid dispersions for oral administration may be e.g. syrups, emulsions and suspensions.
The syrups may contain as carrier, for example, saccharose or saccharose with glycerine andlor mannitol and/or sorbitol; in particular a syrup to be administered to diabetic patients can contain as carriers only products not metabolizable to glucose, or metabolizable in very small amount to glucose, for example sorbitol.
The suspensions and the emulsions may contain as carrier, for example, a natural gum, agar, sodium alginate, pectin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or polyvinyl alcohol.
The suspensions or solutions for intramuscular injections may contain together with the active compound a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g. sterile water, olive oil, ethyl oleate, glycols, e.g. propylene glycol, and if desired, a suitable amount of lidocaine hydrochloride. The solutions for intavenous injections or infusions may contain as carrier, for example, sterile water or preferably they may be in the form of sterile, aqueous, isotonic saline solutions.
The suppositories may contain together with the active compound a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g. cocoa-butter, polyethylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactant or lecithin.
The following examples illustrate but do not limit the invention.
Example 1 3-amino-1 5-diphenyl-pyrazole (5.2 g) was reacted with ethyl acetoacetate (4.4 g) in polyphosphoric acid (52 g: 28 g of H3PO4 and 24 g of P2O5) under stirring at 100 C for 1.5 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture was diluted with ice water and neutralized with 35% NaOH. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and then the organic phase was evaporated in vacuo to dryness.
