1- and 2-(4-Hydroxycarbonylphenyl)-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

Reactions of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid with 2-formyl- and 2-acetyldimedones were utilized to synthesize 6,6-dimethyl- and 3,6,6-trimethyl-1-(4-hydroxycarbonylphenyl)-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles corre-spondingly, and the reaction with 2-cyano-3-ethoxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one gave 2-(4-hydroxy-carbonylphenyl)-3-amino-4-oxo-6,6-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.
