Pyrazole-3,4-dicarboxylic acids, oxidative

Another type of substituted pyrazole is obtained by refluxing osazones with acetic anhydride during the acetylation, two molecules of water per molecule are removed. The structure of the resulting 5-(D-g/ycero-diacetoxyethyl)-3-formyl-l-phenylpyrazole 2-acetyl-2-phenylhydrazone (71) was determined by deacetylation followed by oxidation with (a) periodate to a pyrazolaldehyde (72), and (b) permanganate to the known l-phenyl-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (73), as well as by a study of its n.m.r. spectrum, which confirmed the pres-...
