A convenient synthesis of some novel 6‐amino‐4‐aryl‐1‐phenyl‐3‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐1,4‐dihydropyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazole‐5‐carbonitriles (3a,b) and 5‐chloro‐1‐phenyl‐3‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐1H‐pyrazole‐4‐carbaldehyde (4) is described. Compound 4 was obtained by the reaction of 2‐phenyl‐5‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐2,4‐dihydropyrazol‐3‐one (1) with dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride under Vilsmeier‐Haack reaction conditions. Compound 4 was subjected to react with different reagents such as hippuric acid, sodium azide and aromatic ketones to afford 4‐(5‐chloro‐1‐phenyl‐3‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐1H‐pyrazolo‐4‐ylmethylene)‐2‐phenyl‐4H‐oxazol‐5‐one (5), 5‐azido‐1‐phenyl‐3‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐carbaldehyde (8) and 1‐aryl‐3‐(5‐chloro‐1‐phenyl‐3‐pyridin‐4‐yl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)propenones (12a,b), respectively. The latter compounds were also prepared via Michael reaction by treatment of compound 1 with some different chalcones.
