Abstract
Abstractmagnified imageThe unusual formation of 1‐acyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐ones starting from 3‐acyloxypyrazoles by Fries‐type rearrangement is described. Under normal conditions, acylation of 2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐ones 1 and 2 with acid chlorides or anhydrides in the presence of triethylamine gave the corresponding 3‐acyloxypyrazoles 3a‐f and 4a‐f. Treatment of 3a‐c and 4a‐f with Lewis acid, e.g. titanium(IV) chloride and tin(IV) chloride, caused migration of acyl groups to afford the corresponding 1‐acyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐ones 5a‐c and 6a‐f. Interestingly, the reactions of 3‐acyloxypyrazoles 3e and 3f with tin(IV) chloride provided the corresponding tin(IV) complexes 8e and 8f.
