, (2008/06/13)
There is provided a process for the preparation of 3,5-disubstituted pyrazoles which involves: A. the reaction of a methyl ketone, such as acetophenone or an appropriate derivative thereof, with an appropriate aldehyde, such as benzaldehyde in the presence of base to form a 1,3-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketone, such as chalcone or a substituted chalcone, B. the acidification of said α,β-unsaturated ketone, followed by treatment of the acidified reaction mixture with hydrazine to form a disubstituted pyrazoline, and C. the catalytic dehydrogenation of said pyrazoline to yield the desired 3,5-disubstituted pyrazole.
