The condensation of 3,4-bis(dimethylamino)but-2-en-1-ones with hydrazine hydrate gave 3-alkyl-(aryl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles which reacted with acetyl and chloroacetyl chlorides to produce 3-alkyl(aryl)-1-acetyl-and 3-alkyl(aryl)-1-(chloroacetyl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles. 3-Alkyl(aryl)-1-(chloroacetyl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles were converted into 3-alkyl(aryl)-1-(aminoacetyl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles by treatment with secondary amines.
