Reaction was studied of 3,4-dihydroxyhexa-2,4-diene-1,6-dioic acid esters with 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazine that led to the formation of esters of (3E)-3-[2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-hydrazinylidene]-4oxohexane-1,6-dioic and (3E,4E)-3,4-bis[2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazinylidene]-hexane-1,6-dioic acids. The structural features of compounds synthesized were established from the data of IR and NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.Reactions of 1,3,4,6-tetracarbonyl compounds, in particular, of 1,6-disubstituted 1,3,4,6-tetraketones with arylhydrazines resulted in heterocyclization giving biologically active pyrazole derivatives [1][2][3][4].No published information exists beside our preliminary communication [5] on the reaction of 1,3,4,6-tetracarbonyl compounds having terminal ester groups with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.
