Abstract

The action of diazomethane on β-ethynylpyridines substituted in the pyridine ring or analogous compounds with an alkyl group in place of the acetylenic hydrogen atom has given 3-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrazoles. When the acetylenic hydrogen atom is replaced by an electron-accepting carboxyl group, the polarization of the triple bond interferes with the reaction, which then leads to a mixture of 3- and 4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrazoles with the simultaneous methylation of the nitrogen of the pyrazole ring.
