The preparation of new dihydropyrazolo[1,5‐d][1,2,4]triazinones involved the formation of carboxylic acid hydrazides via the appropriate ethyl aroylacrylates, followed by condensation with an orthoester. The synthesis of some derivatives substituted on the nitrogen atom in the 5‐position of the triazine ring was reported and their anticonvulsant activity was evaluated.
