Azopyrazoles 7a,c–e. The azo component was prepared by dissolving the pyrazolol 4a (3.24 g,
18.6 mmol) in water (20 ml) or compounds 4c–e in ethanol (15 ml) at 80ºC in the presence of NaOH (0.74 g,
18.6 mmol) and Na2CO3 (1.97 g, 18.6 mmol). The azocoupling was carried out at a temperature of 5–10ºC with
stepwise addition over 25 min of a solution of the diazo component 6 to a solution of the azo component and
with continuous stirring. After addition of all of the solution of the diazo component to the reaction mass it was
stirred for 1–1.5 h at 20–25ºC. The obtained dye was either filtered off or salted out with solid NaCl.
Azopyrazoles 9a,c–e. The azo component was prepared by dissolving the pyrazolol 4a (1.83 g,
10 mmol) in water (20 ml) or compounds 4c–e in ethanol (15 ml) at 80ºC. The solution obtained was treated
with NaOH (0.43 g, 10 mmol) and AcONa (2 g, 24 mmol) and cooled to 5ºC. A suspension of the diazo
compound 8 was added at 5–10ºC over 15–20 min to this reaction product. During the addition of the diazo
component it was necessary constantly to maintain a basic medium using NaOH solution (10%). The reaction
product was stirred for 1.5–2 h at 20–25ºC. At the end of the azocoupling the solution obtained was acidified to
pH 5–6 and the precipitate formed was filtered off.
