“…In the light of these findings, we undertook to investigate the reactions of phenacyl bromides ( 5a , 5c , 5d ) with pyrazolylthioureas 8a , 8b , 8c . As potential nucleophiles, 8a , 8b , 8c offer the sulfur atom, N 1 or N 3 of the thiourea structure , or the endocyclic pyrazole‐NH. On the other hand, compounds 5 offer the active methylene group and the carbonyl atoms as electrophilic sites.…”
