Abstract: | 3‐Methyl‐1‐phenyl‐2‐pyrazolin‐5‐one 1b and 1‐dodecyl‐3‐methyl‐2‐pyrazolin‐5‐one 1c react with carbon disulfide and 1,5‐dibromopentane in the presence of sodium acetate in dimethylfor‐mamide or n‐butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran to afford 1,5‐bis(4‐dithiocarboxylate‐5‐hydroy‐pyrazolyl)pentane derivatives 6b‐c. |
