Abstract

1,3-Diketones, which were synthesized in situ from ketones and acid chlorides, were converted into pyrazoles by the addition of hydrazine. This method allows a fast and general synthesis of previously inaccessible pyrazoles and synthetically demanding pyrazole-containing fused rings.

Key Words

Pyrazoles


Note

The reaction works just as well with 1 eq of hydrazine (just more slowly in the condensation phase)
