Studies on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Part VI. The action of methyl salicylate on some 5-aminopyrazoles

Some 1-phenyl-3-R-5-aminopyrazoles reacted with methyl salicylate to give N-(1-phenyl-3-R-pyrazol-5-yl)-2-methoxybenzamides ( 3a,b,c ), 1-phenyl-2-methyl-3-R-salicyloilimino-3-pyrazolines ( 4a,b,c ) together with 1-phenyl-3-R-5-methylamino pyrazoles ( 5a,b,c ). The structures of the new compounds 3 and 4 were determined on the basis of analytical and spectroscopic data as well as on the acid hydrolysis products.
