Preparation of 2-[1-Phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]benzoic Acids from Dilithiated C(α),N-Phenylhydrazones and Methyl Hydrogen Phthalate

Abstract Select C(α),N-phenylhydrazones were dilithiated with excess lithium diisopropylamide to their dianion-type intermediates followed by condensation with methyl hydrogen phthalate. The resulting C-acylated hydrazones were not isolated but acid cyclized directly to afford new substituted 2-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzoic acids.
