SOME new pyrazolone and fused pyrazole derivatives start ……from enaminone-type precursor. This approach constitutes a novel and advantageous alternative for the synthesis of the target heterocycles. Thus, the reaction of pyrazolone 1 and DMFDMA afforded 4-(dimeth-ylamino)methylidenepyrazol-3-one (2). Enaminone 2 was utilized as a key intermediate for the synthesis of new pyrazolones 8, 9, 12, and ...
