“…The preparation of H 2 QBz presented here seems to be much more convenient with respect to that reported for the substituted bis(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxypyrazol-4-yl)arylmethanes by the condensation of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one with aryl dialdehydes. 15 The reaction between pyrazolone and isophthaloyl-or terephthaloyl-chloride under the same conditions, according to the general procedure, 13 results in the formation of the 1,3-16 and 1,4-bis[4-(1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one)carbonyl]benzene 17 respectively. Even if pyridine or a proton-sponge were employed instead of calcium hydroxide, as used in the method of Jensen, 13 H 2 QBz was the only reaction product.…”
