Synthesis of 1,4-Dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole Derivatives

In reaction of 2-(2-thienyl)- and 2-(2-furyl)acrylonitriles with 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone in the presence of basic catalysts 4-thienyl- and 4-furyl derivatives of 3,5-dimethyl-1,7-diphenyl-4,8-dihydropyrano-[2,3-c, 5,6-c]dipyrazole were obtained.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 756–758.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vasyun’kina, Bykova, Plotkin, Ramsh.
