One-Pot Synthesis of Some New Semicarbazone, Thiosemicarbazone, and Hydrazone Derivatives of 1-Phenyl-3-Arylpyrazole-4-Carboxaldehyde from Acetophenone Phenylhydrazones Using Vilsmeier–Haack Reagent

Abstract

Abstract Semicarbazone derivatives 3 of 1,3-diphenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde have been synthesized in high yields through a one-pot procedure involving acetophenone phenylhydrazones 1 subjected to Vilsmeier double formylation and workup under new conditions (i.e., treatment with semicarbazide followed by sodium bicarbonate). This method is even suitable for preparing other derivatives (i.e., thiosemicarbazones 4 and hydrazones 5) in high yields.
