Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4.0 grams 3,3-diacetyl-propionic acid, 4.9 grams p-chlorophenylhydrazine-sulfate, 2.1 grams anhydrous sodium acetate and 30 milliliters glacial acetate acid were mixed and the mixture was heated to 60° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated and water was added to the residue. The precipitate formed thereby was separated by filtration and recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and of water. 5.5 grams 3,5-dimethyl-1-(p-chlorophenyl)-pyrazol-4-acetic acid, melting at 176°-177° C., were obtained, representing a yield of 82%.
